According to BlockBeats, on September 15, the chain detective ZachXBT published an article criticizing the stablecoin USDC issuer Circle, accusing it of "never blacklisting after the DeFi vulnerability/hacker attack, and continuing to profit from transactions despite having enough time."

ZachXBT said that compared with other major issuers, it took Circle four and a half months to blacklist the address of the hacker group Lazarus Group. ZachXBT said, "I'm tired of your hypocritical moral statements because you are the root of the problem."
