Argentine Judge Freezes $8.2M in Libra-Linked Wallets Amid Investigation
2026-07-17 15:36

Woofun AI reports that Argentine federal judge Marcelo Martinez has ordered the identification and freezing of eight cryptocurrency wallets linked to Libra, involving approximately $8.2 million in assets. The directive follows an investigation by the federal police's cybercrime technology department, which tracked fund flows across multiple networks since May.

The targeted wallets, labeled "Libra team," are connected to token issuance activities. Previously, four of these addresses pooled nearly $57 million into a single address that was frozen and later unfrozen by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 10, funds were transferred to a Tron address via an interoperability protocol, totaling nearly $500,000. Transaction records show that at least 10 of 17 movements passed through Binance, with 8 wallets associated with Bybit, 2 with OKX, and 2 with Bitfinex. Remaining funds under Libra Trust control are slated for allocation to Argentine companies before November, with 71 applications pending approval.
