Circle and Tether step in to freeze hacker wallet after massive Bitget crypto heist
đ° Key Takeaways:
âą Circle and Tether have blacklisted a wallet that held approximately $318,000 in USDT and USDC following a large Bitget exchange heist.
âą The move underscores the growing role of stablecoin issuers in postâincident containment and highlights regulatory pressure to curb illicit flows.
âą While the majority of the stolen assets remain in ether, which cannot be frozen, the action signals a broader industry push toward proactive asset tracking and crossâplatform cooperation.
