In response to Neeraj K. Agrawal's statement that "asking Circle to act as the crypto world's police does not enhance DeFi security," on-chain investigator ZachXBT replied that it is inaccurate to conflate "whether stablecoin issuers should freeze assets in real-time" with "DeFi security," because publicly traded companies and centralized stablecoin issuers are not part of DeFi. ZachXBT stated that in a "clear and straightforward" case, approximately $230 million in illegal funds were laundered within six hours; if the relevant infrastructure and customer compliance are inadequate, it serves as a very poor example. He also criticized the inefficiency of using legal procedures to pressure victims instead of establishing real-time response mechanisms, and believes that Circle should not selectively switch between "centralized" and "decentralized" based on its own interests.
