$USDT Frozen Again! After Crypto Assets Are Stolen, Should Issuers Step In?
Tether’s freezing of some USDT linked to a theft case involving Ledger has once again brought stablecoin issuers’ power to freeze assets into the spotlight. Supporters argue that this helps trace funds and combat crime; critics worry that a centralized issuer’s ability to freeze assets inherently conflicts with the self-custody that cryptocurrency champions.
The most important question isn’t whether freezing is justified in this case, but who gets to decide whether your money can be moved when security and asset freedom collide?
Do you support freezing funds linked to crimes, or do you believe any such power should be strictly limited?
