Circle Restores Access to Blacklisted USDC Wallet Linked to Goated.com

Circle has reinstated access to 130,966 USDC in a wallet previously blacklisted among 16 others. According to NS3.AI, the wallet was associated with Goated.com, and the freeze had impacted several unrelated businesses. The legal justification for the blacklist remains uncertain, with at least one affected entity suggesting a connection to a sealed U.S. civil case that has not been publicly disclosed.
