According to Odaily, Whale monitoring reports that on January 11, Tether froze 5 independent addresses on the Tron network, totaling 182 million USDT. The affected addresses each held between 12 million and 50 million USDT. This action is in line with the wallet suspension protocol launched by Tether in December 2023, aimed at complying with the sanctions requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). As of mid-2025, Tether has cumulatively frozen over 3 billion USDT and has cooperated with more than 310 law enforcement agencies across 62 countries.
