Circle and Tether freeze hacker wallet after Bitget heist

Stablecoin issuers Circle and Tether stepped in to freeze a wallet tied to the attackers behind the massive Bitget hack, blacklisting an address holding roughly $318,000 in USDT and USDC. Most of the stolen funds sit in ether, which cannot be frozen, limiting how much of the haul the stablecoin companies can help recover.
