Circle, the issuer of USDC stablecoin, has denied allegations of illicit financing and connections to Tron founder Justin Sun in an open letter to US senators Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown. The letter, signed by Circle's chief strategy officer and head of public policy, Dante Disparte, dismissed claims made by non-profit watchdog group Campaign for Accountability (CfA) that Circle had ties to Sun and facilitated major flows of funds to Hamas or Hezbollah. Disparte stated that Circle does not finance illicit actors and does not provide financial services to Justin Sun or any entity owned or controlled by him. The allegations against Circle are based on unverified social media posts, and Circle terminated all accounts held by Sun and his affiliated companies in February 2023.
