The lawyer therefore requested that "the international arrest of Davis be ordered and that an Interpol red notice be issued in order to locate and arrest him, with a view to his extradition," in a presentation to Argentine courts.
The LIBRA memecoin rose to a $4.4 billion market cap before plunging more than 95% last month. It had been promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei in a now-deleted tweet.
The president subsequently backtracked on his promotion of LIBRA saying he had been unaware of the details of the project and that he "decided not to continue spreading the word" once he did become aware.
LIBRA's crash is estimated to have caused losses of $251 million for its investors, according to research by Nansen.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
