The American law firm Gibbs Mura has officially announced a collective lawsuit investigation regarding the Drift Protocol theft incident, involving a fund scale of approximately $280 million to $285 million. It is reported that over $230 million USDC was transferred to Ethereum via Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP).

Gibbs Mura believes that although Circle has the technical capability to freeze funds, it did not take freezing action during this attack. The law firm is currently assessing whether investors can file claims against Circle for "failure to intervene in a timely manner," "insufficient monitoring," and "failure to fulfill stablecoin responsibilities," and is calling on affected users to participate in the lawsuit to advance fund recovery.
