Stablecoin issuer Circle is facing a lawsuit alleging it aided in the conversion of $230 million stolen from the Drift Protocol in April. The plaintiffs accuse Circle of negligence for not freezing the stolen funds, raising questions about the liability of centralized entities in decentralized finance incidents. This case could set important precedents for how stablecoin issuers and other intermediaries respond to major crypto thefts.
