  • Tether has frozen 112 wallets on the Tron and Ethereum networks holding ~$700M in USDT.
  • An on-chain analyst linked the freeze to efforts to curb Iranian sanctions evasion.
  • The majority of the frozen wallets are reportedly hosted on the Tron blockchain

Tether has frozen 112 wallets holding approximately $700 million in USDT on the Tron and Ethereum blockchains, a move that is linked to Israel-Iran tensions and at the same time when there is a renewed push within the US for stablecoin legislation.  

The action was first highlighted by the on-chain analyst known as Cryptadamist, who revealed that the majority of the frozen wallets, particularly the top 40, are hosted on the Tron blockchain. The move has put a spotlight on the use of USDT and the Tron network by Iranian crypto users to potentially navigate international sanctions.
