US authorities used Tether's USDT controls to freeze approximately $475 million linked to Iran in less than three months. According to NS3.AI, on July 14, the U.S. government sanctioned four Tron wallets holding roughly $131 million in USDT and linked the addresses to Bank Markazi. The action followed Tether's April freeze of more than $344 million across two other Tron wallets. Chainalysis estimated that Iran's cryptocurrency ecosystem received more than $7.78 billion in 2025.
