PANews reported on January 12th that, according to The Block, Whale Alert data shows that on January 11th, Tether froze over $182 million worth of USDT in five wallet addresses on the Tron blockchain. These freezes all occurred on the same day, involving wallets with balances ranging from approximately $12 million to $50 million. This coordinated action is one of the largest single-day wallet restrictions recently disclosed on the Tron blockchain. The January 11th wallet blacklisting incident is consistent with a voluntary wallet freezing policy officially launched by Tether in December 2023, which aims to comply with the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control's Specially Designated Nationals List.
