Circle's Chief Product and Technology Officer Nikhil Chandhok expressed concerns about the security of $USDC in the event of large-scale thefts. In a recent interview, he highlighted the implications of potential exploits on the Arc protocol, emphasizing its immutability.

The discussion arose amidst potential risks from large-scale thefts and the tension between maintaining blockchain integrity and addressing security threats.
