#Circle has refuted claims that it launched a tokenized precious metals trading platform called “#CircleMetals .” According to CoinDesk, the announcement released on Christmas Eve was false, using fabricated Circle branding and executive quotes.
The fake release directed users to connect wallets to swap #USDC for so-called gold (#GLDC ) and silver (#SILC ) tokens. Circle confirmed it has never offered such a service, and the related website has since been taken offline. The company urged users to stay alert and avoid unverified links or wallet connection requests.
