Özet

Un groupe d'investisseurs poursuit Circle Internet Financial, l'émetteur de l'USDC, pour négligence et complicité de détournement après le piratage de 280 millions de dollars sur le protocole Drift le 1er avril. La plainte, déposée au tribunal fédéral du Massachusetts, affirme que Circle avait les moyens techniques d'arrêter les transferts des pirates présumés nord-coréens via son protocole de transfert inter-chaînes, mais n'a pas agi. Les plaignants soulignent qu'une semaine avant l'attaque, Circle avait gelé des portefeuilles sur ordre d'un tribunal, prouvant sa capacité à intervenir. Les fonds volés ont été acheminés vers Ethereum puis blanchis via Tornado Cash. Alors que des analystes pointent la Corée du Nord, ARK Invest défend la position de Circle, arguant que geler des actifs sans ordre judiciaire créerait un précédent dangereux et politique.

Des pirates informatiques nord-coréens ont probablement empoché des centaines de millions de dollars en crypto volées — et maintenant un tribunal américain est saisi pour décider si un géant des stablecoins aurait dû les arrêter.

Les antécédents de Circle deviennent une arme clé

Une action collective déposée cette semaine dans un tribunal fédéral du Massachusetts nomme Circle Internet Group comme défendeur, les plaignants arguant que la société avait à la fois les moyens et l'opportunité d'arrêter le mouvement d'environ 280 millions de dollars d'USDC volés à travers les blockchains — et n'a rien fait.

L'affaire a été portée par l'investisseur de Drift Protocol, Joshua McCollum, représentant plus de 100 membres affectés. Leurs avocats l'ont dit clairement : Circle a autorisé l'utilisation criminelle de sa propre technologie.

La plainte a été déposée mercredi dans un tribunal de district américain du Massachusetts par l'investisseur de Drift, Joshua McCollum, représentant plus de 100 membres.

L'attaque du 1er avril contre Drift Protocol a vu les attaquants drainer les fonds et les acheminer de Solana vers Ethereum en utilisant le Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol de Circle, un outil de pont que l'entreprise opère. Les transferts se sont produits sur plusieurs heures, selon les rapports. La fenêtre était grande ouverte.

Ce qui rend le procès particulièrement ciblé est ce qui s'est passé juste quelques jours avant le piratage. Environ une semaine auparavant, Circle a gelé 16 portefeuilles USDC liés à une affaire civile américaine scellée. Les plaignants se sont saisis de ce détail. Si Circle pouvait agir rapidement pour une affaire liée à un tribunal, soutiennent-ils, elle aurait pu agir ici aussi. Ce simple fait se trouve au centre du combat juridique.

Les accusations vont de la négligence à la complicité de crime

Le procès porte deux accusations principales : négligence et complicité de conversion — un terme juridique désignant le fait d'aider quelqu'un à prendre illicitement les biens d'autrui. Le cabinet d'avocats Mira Gibb traite l'affaire pour McCollum et les autres investisseurs de Drift. Les dommages-intérêts n'ont pas encore été fixés et seront déterminés lors du procès.

Circle n'a pas répondu aux demandes de commentaires.

La firme d'analyse crypto Elliptic a identifié l'attaque comme étant l'œuvre d'opérateurs soutenus par l'État nord-coréen. Sur la base de l'analyse d'Elliptic, les pirates ont exécuté plus de 100 transactions via l'infrastructure de pontage de Circle pendant les heures normales de bureau aux États-Unis. Après avoir déplacé les fonds vers Ethereum, les actifs volés ont été convertis et passés through Tornado Cash, un protocole de confidentialité utilisé pour obscurcir les pistes de transactions.

ARK Invest défend Circle, mais les enjeux moraux restent élevés

Ce n'est pas tout le monde qui pointe Circle du doigt. Lorenzo Valente, directeur de la recherche sur les actifs numériques chez ARK Invest, a soutenu que Circle a pris la bonne décision en n'agissant pas sans ordre légal.

Sa préoccupation : donnez à une entreprise comme Circle le pouvoir de geler des fonds sur la seule base d'un jugement, et chaque décision devient politique. Il s'est interrogé à haute voix sur l'endroit où la ligne serait tracée — entre un pirate nord-coréen et un portefeuille suspect ailleurs dans le monde.

Low Investment Isn't Apple's Immunity Pass

While Meta and Google face investor scrutiny over ballooning AI capital expenditures, Apple's minimal AI investment has paradoxically become a strength. Its market cap recently reclaimed the global top spot, surpassing $5 trillion. The irony is deep: Apple's own AI efforts have lagged, with "Apple Intelligence" delayed and core talent lost, forcing reliance on partners like Google Gemini and Alibaba's Qianwen. Its Q3 FY2026 (Q2 CY) earnings initially seemed stellar. Revenue hit $109.4B (up 16% YoY), with iPhone and Mac sales, growing 22% and 29% respectively, driving most of the growth. However, the stock fell over 8% post-earnings. The primary concern was a weaker Q4 revenue growth forecast of 9-11%, below expectations, due to looming supply chain constraints. Apple is feeling the indirect cost of the AI boom. Soaring memory and chip prices, fueled by massive data center investments from Microsoft, Amazon, and others, are forcing Apple to raise Mac and iPad prices significantly. The upcoming iPhone launch is also expected to see substantial price hikes. Despite avoiding heavy AI infrastructure spending—its capital expenditures are actually down 28%—Apple cannot escape the industry-wide supply and cost pressures. While Apple's operating cash flow remains robust, its substantial R&D spending (up 32% YoY) has yet to yield major AI breakthroughs. As Tim Cook prepares to step down as CEO, Apple faces a challenging transition: balancing its premium hardware success against the strategic and cost pressures of the AI era it has so far cautiously navigated.

Wall Street's Most Famous 'Cassandra' Now Has His Sights Set on Nvidia

Michael Burry, the famed "Big Short" investor, has once again captured Wall Street's attention with a series of short positions against major tech and semiconductor stocks, most notably Nvidia. In late June and July, through his "Cassandra Unchained" newsletter, Burry disclosed short bets against Nvidia, Tesla, Applied Materials, Caterpillar, the SOXX semiconductor ETF, and later, Micron Technology. His core thesis revolves around potential distortions in the AI infrastructure boom, specifically questioning whether extended depreciation schedules (e.g., 6 years vs. a realistic 2-3 years for AI chips) by cloud giants like Microsoft and Google artificially inflate profits. He also raises concerns about possible "off-balance-sheet circular financing," where chip demand might be propped up by vendor-backed funding to clients. Nvidia's stock experienced volatility following these disclosures, briefly dipping but largely holding near Burry's reported entry points, leaving his positions roughly flat or slightly underwater as of late July. This move is part of a pattern for Burry, whose track record since his legendary 2008 bet is mixed. He has faced notable losses, such as on Tesla in 2021, while scoring on broader market turns like the 2020 pandemic crash. His methodology focuses intensely on free cash flow and scrutinizing original financial documents to spot overvaluation and structural risks, but it often struggles with timing the market. The article contrasts Burry's stance with other prominent investors. Steve Eisman, another "Big Short" figure, is not shorting Nvidia, citing strong fundamentals but expressing nervousness about sustainability. Jim Chanos agrees with the broad "accounting mismatch" concern—comparing it to the dot-com bubble—but targets financial leverage in private equity firms rather than the chip stocks themselves. While Nvidia's short interest remains relatively low at 1.3-1.4% of float, the massive stock size means absolute short losses have been significant, exceeding $5 billion earlier this year. The piece concludes that for ordinary investors, the key takeaway is not replicating specific short bets but learning from the critical frameworks these investors use: questioning rosy accounting, identifying structural vulnerabilities, and maintaining skepticism during market euphoria, even if pinpointing the exact catalyst for a downturn remains elusive.
