Circle Freezes $57M of USDC Linked to Libra Scandal - Unchained
Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has frozen around $57 million of USDC in Solana wallets associated with the team behind Argentina’s pump-and-dump LIBRA token.
Circle took the step in response to a Argentinian court order amid ongoing legal disputes and following steep investor losses after the LIBRA token’s collapse. The order came from Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado at the request of victim and investor Martin Romeo, who is suing the LIBRA team.
The freeze targeted two main Solana addresses tagged as “Libra” and “Libra Deployer,” which hold $44 million and $13 million of USDC, respectively.
