However, the launch has raised concerns, as 82% of the token supply is already unlocked across multiple connected addresses—a factor that may indicate centralized control or potential manipulation.

$LIBRA has reached a fully diluted valuation of $4.5 billion within hours of its launch.
At the bottom of the project’s website is a note reading, “Private Initative project Developed by KIP Network Inc © 2025.” This ties $LIBRA to KIP Network Inc. and its associated KIP Protocol, a Web3 framework for AI applications.
KIP Protocol, backed by Animoca Ventures, has recently been active in Argentina, joining the blockchain committee of the Buenos Aires City Government and meeting with President Milei last October.

Industry experts have highlighted the risks inherent in the token’s distribution model.
Conor Grogan, Coinbase’s head of product, urged caution, noting that established launches typically employ multi-signature wallets and strict KYC measures.
