Odaily Planet Daily reports that blockchain security firm Salus posted on X that Tether has blacklisted nine addresses linked to the CoinDCX incident, freezing a total of 2,212,850.30 USDT (approximately $2.2129 million). The freeze took effect on October 22 at 22:45:39 UTC.

Salus said its investigators had previously detected an unusual transfer of approximately 15.99 million USDT and continued to track the funds as they were split up and sent to exchange deposit addresses. Salus later raised questions about fund transfers from proof-of-reserves (PoR) addresses and TRX distribution patterns. The related on-chain evidence provided the basis for Tether to freeze the funds. Salus said it would continue to assist with the investigation and efforts to recover the funds.
