Argentine President Javier Milei is facing a corruption probe into his promotion of a meme coin, which is a highly speculative form of cryptocurrency that’s seen a recent surge in popularity after President Donald Trump and his wife launched tokens of their own.

Argentina’s Senate voted Thursday to scrap primary elections, delivering a major legislative victory to President Javier Milei just as he faces intense scrutiny over his role in a crypto rug pull that wiped $4.

The Argentinian president faces political backlash after he promoted a cryptocurrency whose value quickly plummeted. It was launched under suspicious circumstances by a young American claiming to be an 'adviser.

A judge in Argentina has been selected to investigate allegations of fraud against President Javier Milei for his brief promotion of a cryptocurrency that collapsed in value hours after it was launched last week.

The Argentinian president faces impeachment charges for endorsing a crypto rug pull, via the same network that apparently launched Melania Trump’s memecoin.

Milei could face an impeachment trial in Congress, opposition lawmakers said, after he touted a cryptocurrency which crashed soon after.

On February 15th Mr Davis called himself “Javier Milei’s adviser” and said that he was “working with him and his team”. Mr Milei’s office has said the government has no connection to Mr Davis. This was not Mr Milei’s first brush with crypto controversy.

Argentina’s president Javier Milei touched down in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, arriving in the middle of the biggest political firestorm of his presidency.

Argentina's president faces his first major political crisis as the so-called "cryptogate" scandal shakes his credibility. The failed cryptocurrency endorsement sparks legal trouble, political fallout and media backlash.
