Tether has blacklisted four THORChain vault addresses on the Tron network, freezing about 1.45 million USDT and stopping Tron-based cross-chain swaps and liquidity-provider functions. THORChain received no prior notice, causing immediate disruption to users relying on stablecoin access through these vaults. This incident highlights a vulnerability in decentralized finance where centralized issuers like Tether can freeze assets, limiting protocol neutrality. The next steps include whether THORChain will restore service and if Tether will clarify or reverse the freeze.
