Major shift in how stablecoin issuers handle hacks š
The Bitget hack just proved something critical: stablecoin freezes are happening FASTER now, no legal request needed.
The Drift Protocol hack set a new precedent. Issuers like Circle are moving at speed to freeze stolen $USDC before it gets laundered.
This changes the game for:
- Response time expectations (hours, not days)
- Issuer accountability in major exploits
- Recovery odds for hacked protocols
If you're holding stables on-chain, this is actually bullish for security. But also means centralized control is real.
The Bitget case is proof: post-Drift, the playbook changed.
