Tether has frozen $12.3 million in USDT on the Tron blockchain to comply with regulatory requirements. The action, reported on June 15, 2025, targets addresses suspected of being linked to sanctions or anti-money laundering violations. This move is part of Tether's ongoing efforts to prevent illicit activities, in line with OFAC regulations. The frozen tokens are immobilized, preventing any transfers or withdrawals. This initiative is part of a broader collaboration with the T3 Financial Crime Unit, Tron, and TRM Labs, which has resulted in the freezing of $126 million in USDT since August 2024. While Tether's actions highlight its centralized control over USDT, they also emphasize the importance of combating crypto-related crime.
