Tether Builds Modular Bitcoin Mining System for Greater Efficiency

Tether has frozen two Tron-based wallets holding about $344 million in USDT, marking one of its largest enforcement moves to date. One wallet contained roughly $212.9 million, while the other held $131.3 million. The action was carried out in coordination with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and other law enforcement agencies as part of ongoing investigations into illicit financial activity. The move reflects Tether’s increasing role in supporting global regulators by blacklisting suspicious funds and tightening oversight of stablecoin flows across blockchain networks.
