Market Chatter: Circle Considers Mechanisms for Reversible Stablecoin Transactions in Case of Disputes, Fraud
Sep 25, 2025 4:58 AM

07:38 AM EDT, 09/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Circle Internet Group ( CRCL ) is exploring mechanisms that would allow transactions involving its tokens to be reversed in cases of fraud or disputes, the Financial Times reported Thursday, citing company president Heath Tarbert.

Tarbert told the FT the idea would help stablecoins move further into the financial mainstream.

"We are thinking through ... whether or not there's the possibility of reversibility of transactions, right, but at the same time, we want settlement finality," the report quoted Tarbert as saying.

Tarbert added that there is "an inherent tension there between being able to transfer something immediately, but having it be irrevocable," the report said.

The move would be a major departure from the crypto industry's focus on "immutability" of the blockchain, with some even describing it as incompatible with blockchain's original purpose, the report said.

Tarbert said software developers have been discussing "as to whether on certain blockchains for certain circumstances, provided all the parties agree, there could be some degree of reversibility for fraud," the FT reported.
