#Circle拒冻结Drift被盗USDC 🚨
The crypto market is once again facing a major debate around trust, compliance, and decentralization after Circle came under criticism for not freezing the stolen USDC linked to the massive Drift Protocol exploit.
Reports suggest that during the $275M–$285M Drift hack, a large portion of the stolen funds was moved in USDC through Circle’s own cross-chain bridge (CCTP). Despite several hours of fund movement, Circle did not immediately freeze the wallets, which sparked strong reactions across the crypto community.

#DriftProtocolHacked
The $285 million exploit of Drift Protocol isn't just another DeFi hack; it’s a terrifying masterclass in long-con social engineering. While the industry reflexively looks for smart contract bugs, this hit proves that the most vulnerable part of any protocol isn't the code—it's the humans holding the keys.
The attackers spent weeks "manufacturing" legitimacy, creating a fake asset (CarbonVote Token) and using wash trading to trick oracles into treating worthless pixels as multi-million dollar collateral. By the time they triggered the "durable nonce" transactions, the def
