Court-Ordered Circle Freeze Traps $12.6 Million in Zama cUSDC Contract Amid Overnight Finance Suit

What happened: A court-ordered freeze by Circle has immobilized $12.6 million in a Zama confidential USDC (cUSDC) contract, as part of ongoing litigation involving Overnight Finance. Zama’s CEO stated the protocol was “caught in a crossfire” and is investigating the incident.
