๐บ๐ธ JUST IN: U.S. authorities have frozen approximately $344 million in cryptocurrency linked to Iran.
The action, led by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, targeted sanctioned wallets associated with Iranian financial networks. The funds largely held in Tether were frozen through issuer cooperation, preventing further transfers.
This move highlights how centralized stablecoins can be restricted under regulatory enforcement, as part of broader U.S. sanctions efforts.
