Tether has frozen approximately $550 million worth of its stablecoin USDT linked to Iran this year as part of enforcing U.S. sanctions. Significant freezes occurred in April and July, totaling over $474 million, following information from U.S. authorities about wallets involved in unlawful activities. Tether's freezing actions comply with the U.S. Specially Designated Nationals list and are coordinated with U.S. officials. This highlights how stablecoin issuers can actively block funds tied to sanctioned entities, reflecting growing regulatory scrutiny on crypto assets.
