Blockchain forensics firm AMLBot reported that between 2023 and 2025, Tether froze around $3.3 billion in assets and blacklisted 7,268 addresses. Over 2,800 of these addresses worked with U.S. law enforcement. More than half of the frozen USDT was on the Tron network. Circle, by comparison, froze 372 addresses and about $109 million in assets during the same period. The firm did not reissue or burn the frozen USDC. What is notable is the stark difference in enforcement actions between the two stablecoin issuers.
