La Libertad Avanza, better known as the Libra token, whose launch was shared by Argentina’s president Javier Milei, is getting its first class action lawsuit in the U.S.
Burwick Law recently announced the introduction of such legal action before the Supreme Court of New York, alleging that the parties behind the token “orchestrated an unfair token launch, allegedly misleading purchasers and harming retail investors.”
While the lawsuit mentions President Milei’s endorsement as a key to creating an appearance of “legitimacy and significant investment value” for Libra, he is not directly accused of facilitating the alleged scheme. His sister Karina Milei, who has also been implicated by third parties, is not mentioned either. Nonetheless, other parties publicly linked to Libra, including Kelsier Ventures, KIP Protocol, and Meteora, are included as defendants in the complaint.

Introduced and sponsored by Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança, the bill will need to be analyzed and pass the scrutiny of the Chamber of Deputies, which will decide if the project advances further to the Senate.
If passed, workers might be able to receive up to 50% of their wages in bitcoin, provided there is mutual acceptance from both workers and employers. The value of the assets will have to be certified by an entity authorized by the central bank.

In a recent article celebrating 80 years of international relations with Russia, Gil noted that this development was possible due to the rise of the BRICS bloc, an organization integrated by Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, and its de-dollarization push.
Gil declared:
At least 25% of global trade operations can be conducted without being tied to the dollar (without using the dollar), which will be a significant step towards greater financial independence of countries subject to sanctions.
