⚡️🧊 NEW - Tether has frozen $13.4 million USDT spread across 22 Ethereum and Tron wallets as part of ongoing litigation and compliance efforts with law enforcement.
This action reignites debates about stablecoin centralization and financial control.
Tether claims to have frozen more than $3.2 billion in USDT linked to criminal activity, in collaboration with more than 290 law enforcement agencies in 59 countries.
Over the past year, the company has blocked no fewer than 3,660 wallets.

Thats how real sovereignity looks 🤣
So, what's the point of this project then?
None, it's useless. It must die just like Dollar or Euro.
To fund the US government by dollarizing the unbanked masses, and providing buyers for treasuries. And I’m not singling out Tether, they are just the largest.
At the end of the day, the 1971 dollar system is dying, and this extends it a bit, ideally long enough for a replacement (Bitcoin, imho) to take over.

So I guess this is similar to what Europe is trying to do with Digital Euro, right? It helps surveil everyone, and extend their euro lifespan (which is a new idea to me)
My impression is the digital Euro is a true Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), likely to eventually include all of the dystopian aspects like social credit scores, etc.
Stable coins in the US, under the Genius Act (which mainline/offshore Tether is, I believe outside of) would be more of a Private Bank Digital Currency.
In the US, the private sector will usually lead, with varying levels of intervention or coercion from the government.
Stay humble and stack sats, no matter whay
Good luck freezing my BTC mfkers
I’ve heard some bitcoiners state that stablecoins are good for bitcoin as they create a path to bitcoin. Increased adoption of stablecoins creates an increased adoption of bitcoin. It may, but this is an example of why I won’t support them
trusting stablecoins is the equivalent of thinking that the loan you requested will not leave you in debt for years
