Conduit sues Tether for freezing $2.76M without cause, impacting its business operations.

Conduit has filed a lawsuit against Tether in New York federal court, accusing the stablecoin issuer of freezing $2.76 million in its treasury wallet on September 24, 2025, without justification and refusing to release the funds for over a year. The freeze allegedly forced Conduit to lay off employees and close offices, while Tether earned interest on the backing reserves. The dispute centers on a Brazilian police investigation into a third party, Onix, but Conduit states its wallet was created after Onix's last transaction and never held Onix funds. The case highlights growing scrutiny of Tether's power to freeze USDT tokens at will and its broader implications for the stablecoin market.

Despite the lawsuit against Tether over a $2.76 million stablecoin freeze, USDT trades steadily on Pluang at Rp17,872 with a slight 0.08% decline as of Oct 07, 2026 03:03 WIB. Its market cap stands robust at Rp3.284,2 trillion, supported by a balanced order activity of 48% Sell and 52% Buy. This stability contrasts with the ongoing legal challenges, highlighting USDT's continued liquidity and investor engagement on the platform.
