Libra Scandal Wallets Bet Big on Solana – Whatโ€™s Next? ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฐ

In a twist as unexpected as a chocolate factory full of turnips, the wallets tied to the Libra scandal have taken a gamble on Solanaโ€ฆ or is it a trap? ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ธ

ย 

There has now been fresh activity across several wallets linked to the failed Libra meme token. These wallets were observed moving large amounts of USDC after long stretches of silence. ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ

The funds went toward buying SOL during the most recent price dip, and investors are starting to wonder whether Solana has a comeback brewing. Or is it just a sneaky trick? ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿง

Wallets Linked To Libra Resume Activity

This new movement across the wallets surprised many observers. These wallets had been dormant for months and suddenly became active as SOL dropped below $130. ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ“‰

Two addresses spent $61.5 million in USDC to buy SOL and one now holds 328,619 SOL. The second accumulated 127,871 SOL with most of the purchases tracked at an average cost of $135 per token. ๐Ÿงพ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Notably, some of the funds they spent to buy this SOL came from wallets that moved for the first time since the collapse of the Libra token. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ’ฅ

Liquidity Pulled From DEX Pools And Redirected Into SOL

A wallet labelled as Libra Team 1 pulled USDC from Solana DEX protocols. The wallet then used the stablecoins to buy SOL and wrapped SOL. ๐Ÿง ๐ŸŒ€

That wallet has a long history and has handled large sums during the rise and collapse of the Libra meme token. It also played a role when the token suffered its infamous rug pull. ๐Ÿงจ๐Ÿ’ฅ

The wallet later made several smaller purchases tied to Solana meme tokens. Despite an ongoing class action case, no restrictions have been applied to these wallets. How convenient! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”

Circle, the issuers of USDC has the ability to freeze USDC but has somehow not applied freezes to any of the addresses tied to early Libra activity according to speculators. A mystery as deep as a black hole! ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿงช

Large Holders Across The Network Raised Activity

Whale wallets outside the Libra circle also moved during the dip. One buyer picked up more than $17 million in SOL while holding through an unrealised loss of $8 million. A hero or a fool? ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’ธ

SOL derivatives also shown the changing mood. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰

Open interest climbed above $3 billion after the dip. Long positions reached more than 86% of active positions and many short positions closed or faced liquidation during the move. The game is afoot! ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

Traders are now tracking two possible paths. A push below $130 could trigger new long liquidations, while a rise to $145 could force a short squeeze. Will the dice roll again? ๐ŸŽฒ๐Ÿ’ฃ

Fresh Details On Wallets Tied To The Libra Token Scandal

Several addresses tied to the Libra event continue to pull money from the failed token and move it into other assets. ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฎ

These actions are occurring despite earlier freezes and ongoing fraud claims. A tale as old as timeโ€ฆ or a scam as fresh as a new moon! ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The failed token gained attention earlier this year after it received support from Argentinaโ€™s president Javier Milei. During the collapse, eight insider wallets cashed out $107 million. The crash also erased roughly $4 billion in market value within hours. A tragedy? Or a farce? ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿ’ธ

Recent reports show that two tracked wallets bought $61.5 million of SOL at $135 each. Nansen flagged the addresses Defcy (labelled as Libra Deployer) and 61yKS (labelled as Libra Wallet). ๐Ÿงญ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Before the purchases, the Libra Deployer wallet held more than $13 million in USDC. The second address held about $44 million in USDC. A fortune, or a foolโ€™s gold? ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’ธ

A separate case involving Kelsier Ventures also influenced the flow of the funds. A US judge froze $57.6 million in USDC this year. Later, the judge lifted the freeze after concluding that victims could still be reimbursed. Justice, or a clever loophole? ๐Ÿงฉโš–๏ธ

Hayden Davis, the token creator also faces legal calls requesting an Interpol Red Notice. An Argentine lawyer argued that Davis could flee due to access to large sums. A fugitive? Or a master of disguise? ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŽญ

Davis has also been tied to several other meme token launches, with some of those tokens crashing just as quickly as Libra did. ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ฅ

One project even held more than 80% insider supply and lost nearly all its value within two days. A lesson learned? Or a warning ignored? ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿ’€
