USDT's control depends on the owner role of its smart contract, notably on Tron where a 2-of-3 multisig wallet controls over half of all USDT tokens. This owner role can blacklist addresses, create or destroy tokens, and pause transfers, but cannot access individual wallets or private keys. A recent security review scored Tether's contract low on cybersecurity due to lack of timelocks, though no compromise was found. Investors should verify which blockchain their USDT resides on and understand the multisig control structure to assess risks properly. Regulatory oversight like MiCA focuses on issuers, not contract-level control, making self-checks essential for transparency and security.
