According to market news, Circle has launched a new solution for high-frequency USDC payments across blockchains. Developers can use the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to have local fulfillers make advance payments on the recipient's designated chain, with the platform later completing cross-chain settlement.This model can reduce the operational burden caused by individual cross-chain transfers and is suitable for platforms that handle a large number of payments daily. Compared to the traditional CCTP process of destroying and minting USDC one by one, the new solution supports batch settlement, reduces the number of destructions on the source chain, and eliminates the need for signature infrastructure on the target chain. Circle also demonstrated the process based on the Arc Testnet and Ethereum Sepolia.

Investment bank William Blair stated that after a decline of about 26% from its peak in the first quarter, Coinbase has basically completed its de-risking, and the market's expectations for its weak trading volume and revenue have been fully reflected in its stock price.Analysts pointed out that although the trading data in the first quarter was weak, it had limited impact on market sentiment, and the company is enhancing its competitiveness through a "full-service trading platform" that includes derivatives, staking, stock trading, and prediction markets. The report emphasized that the continued growth of the stablecoin USDC is a core positive, with its market share rising to about 27%, a significant increase from around 21% in 2024, and it continues to capture market share from USDT.William Blair believes that the expansion of USDC brings synergistic benefits to Coinbase and its issuer Circle, and is optimistic about the latter's long-term value in stablecoin payment and trading scenarios. At the same time, institutions believe that the probability of a long-term downturn in the cryptocurrency market is low, and Coinbase has "asymmetric upside potential" in the market recovery.

According to The Block, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that Circle will not freeze USDC wallets unrelated to legal proceedings.At a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday, Allaire responded to ongoing online criticism regarding whether the company should freeze USDC funds in light of hacking and vulnerability incidents. The controversy became more pronounced earlier this month when the decentralized finance protocol Drift suffered an attack of approximately $280 million, which is believed to be related to a six-month-long attack carried out through complex social engineering techniques, possibly involving a North Korean-affiliated hacking group.Prominent on-chain analysts, including on-chain investigator ZachXBT, publicly criticized Circle for not freezing approximately $230 million in USDC funds. These funds were reportedly transferred from Solana to Ethereum via Circle's cross-chain transfer protocol.

According to a report by the Korea Herald, the nominee for the governor of the Bank of Korea, Shin Hyun-sung, stated in a written response during a personnel hearing at the National Assembly that central bank digital currency (CBDC) and commercial bank deposit tokens based on its issuance should become the core of the digital currency ecosystem. Shin Hyun-sung expressed basic support for the introduction of a Korean won stablecoin but emphasized that maintaining trust in the currency is the most important.Regarding the issuing entity of the Korean won stablecoin, he believes that South Korea is not a reserve currency country, and compliance capability is crucial. Therefore, he suggested prioritizing the issuance by a bank-centered alliance, allowing non-bank institutions to participate, and gradually expanding later. Shin Hyun-sung holds a cautious attitude towards the claim that stablecoins can enhance foreign exchange trading efficiency, believing that it is still unclear whether blockchain can comply with capital and foreign exchange regulations. He also stated that crypto assets, including stablecoins, have failed to meet the core functions of currency such as a measure of value, medium of exchange, and store of value, asserting that crypto assets cannot replace fiat currency.

Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte published a response regarding the over $270 million theft incident involving Drift Protocol. Disparte stated that Circle only freezes USDC when legally mandated to do so, and this is not a unilateral decision, nor is it a backdoor or algorithmic monitoring. This reflects the rule of law in internet-native financial activities.He pointed out that the core issue facing open systems is that the legal framework's response speed lags behind technological development. Protocols, wallets, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers should regard security and accountability as a shared obligation, and DeFi protocols can develop on-chain technical protection measures by referencing the circuit breaker mechanisms of traditional markets.He also called for the legislative processes of the U.S. GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act to incorporate due process, property rights, and financial privacy protection standards into law before the next major security incident occurs.
