Gibbs Mura, a U.S. law firm, has announced a class action investigation into the theft involving Drift Protocol, with the funds involved estimated between $280 million and $285 million. According to ChainCatcher, over $230 million in USDC was transferred to Ethereum via Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP).
Gibbs Mura argues that although Circle has the technical capability to freeze funds, it did not take such action during the attack. The firm is currently assessing whether investors can claim against Circle for 'failure to intervene timely,' 'insufficient monitoring,' and 'not fulfilling stablecoin responsibilities.' Affected users are encouraged to join the lawsuit to aid in the recovery of funds.
