AMLBot: Addresses frozen by Circle suspected of being linked to DFINITY ckETH cross-chain service.

CoinFeed reported on March 25th that, according to information forwarded by ZachXBT and published by on-chain analysis firm AMLBot, one of the addresses mistakenly frozen by Circle in a civil case, 0xb25ea1d493b49a1ded42ac5b1208cc618f9a9b80, is related to the DFINITY ecosystem. The accompanying operational guidelines indicate that this address participates in the cross-chain exchange process between ETH and ckETH. It is used by ICP-side contracts to mint ckETH after users deposit ETH, and then exchange ckETH back to ETH on Ethereum when needed, making it a typical operational/bridging service wallet. Last night, ZachXBT reportedly questioned Circle's freezing of 16 business hot wallets (USDC).
