đš Circleâs $USDC Allegedly Used by North Korea â Serious Compliance Questions Raised
â ïž Renowned blockchain investigator ZachXBT has uncovered troubling activity: North Korean IT operatives are allegedly using Circleâs USDC stablecoin for illicit payments, with no action taken to freeze these transactions.
đ Why this matters:
â«ïž This revelation surfaces just as Circle (NASDAQ: CRCL) seeks a U.S. banking license, following its successful IPO in June.
â«ïž CRCL stock is already under pressure, falling 28% in the past week.
â«ïž Regulatory scrutiny could intensify, potentially threatening the firm's financial ambitions and market trust.
đą The big question: Can stablecoin issuers remain neutral tech providers, or is deeper compliance and action now a must in a world of rising crypto geopolitics?
