US Court Freezes $57M USDC Allegedly Linked to LIBRA Scandal

A U.S. Federal court froze approximately $57.65 million in USDC linked to two Solana wallets tied to the LIBRA memecoin on May 28, 2025.
The freeze followed a class-action lawsuit filed in March 2025 against Kelsier Ventures and its co-founders, alleging misleading investors and siphoning over $100 million.
The LIBRA token launched in February 2025, rapidly surged to a $4 billion market cap, then crashed 90% amid accusations of a pump-and-dump scheme involving insiders.
Circle executed the freeze using its multisig authority, immobilizing $44.59 million and $13 million in two wallets, while lawyer Max Burwick confirmed the court's temporary restraining order.
The asset freeze may prevent further losses and ensure victim compensation, possibly setting a precedent to hold crypto promoters accountable for investor deception.
