The $344 million Tether freeze on the TRON chain has finally been clarified! Turns out it has nothing to do with Brother Sun, haha, and it’s definitely not what some people speculated—that the Trump family instructed Tether to retaliate against Brother Sun.
Here’s the real story:
On April 23, Tether cooperated with the U.S. OFAC to freeze two whale addresses on the TRON chain in one go:
• TNiq9…QZH81: $213 million USDT
• TTiDL…pjSr9: $131 million USDT
Total: $344 million. U.S. intelligence determined that these addresses belonged to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and were being used for oil trade, cross-border toll settlements, and circumventing comprehensive sanctions.
It’s obvious that stablecoins are issued by centralized companies and can be frozen at any time. If the Iranians were smarter, they would’ve switched to $BTC or $ETH.
Now look what happened—Tether locked the funds with one click. The money is visible but untouchable, leaving them staring at it helplessly…
This is yet another wake-up call:
USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins are all centralized and backed by U.S. capital. If the U.S. says freeze, they freeze. Having your private key is useless because the issuers have blacklist authority.
On the other hand, Bitcoin and Ethereum really shine here: no company, no country can freeze your coins. It’s all about the private key, not the person.
