Users report receiving unexpected small USDT deposits labeled from HTX, causing Coinbase to freeze their accounts due to compliance concerns related to UK sanctions on HTX. HTX denies involvement and is investigating possible errors in address labeling. This dusting tactic, sending tiny amounts to many wallets, risks locking accounts as exchanges treat HTX-linked funds as suspicious. Binance will block HTX transactions starting August 23 to comply with EU sanctions, increasing scrutiny on such transfers.
