{"content":"⚠️ $12 Million in USDT Frozen on Tron — Tether Responds to Suspicious Activity Tether quickly froze $12.3 million USDT on Tron Sunday. This action targets wallets related to money laundering and sanctions evasion, according to Tronscan. The corporation has not released a public comment, but on-chain data suggests little doubt. The T3 Financial Crime Unit (FCU) of Tether works with Tron and TRM Labs to monitor questionable transactions in real time. The FCU has frozen about $126 million in dubious assets since late 2024. The fourth quarter of that year saw a $100 million block. As authorities globally tighten, enforcement may increase sharply. Tether often blacklists wallets related with sanctioned organizations after regulatory synchronization with OFAC. The obvious targets are SDNs. In March 2025, Tether froze $27 million in USDT on Garantex due to EU penalties. After suspending services, Garantex said that over 2.5 billion rubles in customer payments were held up. According to reports, North Korea's Lazarus Group has transferred over $3 billion in stolen cryptocurrency since 2009. In November 2023, Tether blocked $374,000 USDT from Lazarus-related addresses. Other stablecoin firms pooled $3.4 million in similar wallets. These data show how huge issuers can upset state-sponsored hackers. Gold Royalty Diversification Tether acquired 32% of Elemental Altus Royalties on June 12, 2025, diversifying outside digital currency. Around $89 million was spent on almost 78 million shares at CAD1.55. By becoming a public gold royalty firm, Tether displays its commitment to backing its stablecoin with actual assets. Appeasing risk-averse regulators who want large reserves is also shown. A Dual Stablecoin Governance Strategy Tether executives believe rigorous enforcement and asset diversification may create a new standard. Tether hopes to boost trust in its stablecoin by blocking criminal funds and supporting USDT with real money. #Tron #TRX #USDT $TRX @TRONDAO @JustinSun ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025062025/06/18/cdad16680c104c7d85131eb9d27ead94.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["TRX/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
