Tether freezes 12.3 million USDT on-chain of Tron, possibly for compliance reasons.

Gate News bot message, Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, has frozen over 12.3 million USDT on the Tron network, continuing its efforts to combat illegal activities in the Crypto Assets sector.

Tronscan data shows that Tether froze these USDT on the Tron network at 9:15 AM UTC on June 15.

Although Tether has not made a public statement, this freeze is likely due to concerns over potential sanction violations or anti-money laundering (AML) risks.

Tether wrote in a blog post on March 7: "Tether implements a strict wallet freezing policy to combat money laundering, nuclear proliferation, and terrorist financing, and to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list."
