Tether Freezes $13.4M USDT Across 22 Addresses Amid Scrutiny and Compliance Efforts

Tether Holdings has frozen $13.4 million in USDT across 22 Ethereum and Tron addresses, following its pattern of blocking suspicious funds. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of Tether's methods, including a lawsuit by Texas-based Riverstone Consulting. Tether often cooperates with law enforcement and international bodies to freeze addresses linked to sanctioned entities, terrorism financing, and fraud schemes.
