Circle Freezes $58M in USDC Amid LIBRA Memecoin Scandal

Circle, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has frozen nearly $58 million linked to the controversial LIBRA memecoin project. The freeze targeted two Solana wallets connected to LIBRA’s deployers, following a class-action lawsuit filed in New York where investors allege insider fraud. Blockchain firm Arkham confirmed Circle’s use of multisig authority to halt transactions, marking a major escalation in one of 2025’s most prominent crypto scandals.

LIBRA surged after Argentine President Javier Milei promoted it as a tool for small businesses, reaching over $5 and a $4 billion market cap within an hour. However, a massive insider dump crashed its value by 90%, resulting in $250 million in retail losses. The fallout has sparked political unrest in Argentina and may set new legal precedents in crypto accountability.
