Bessent just hinted at seizing ~$1B in crypto tied to Iran this week. No coin names. No method. No official confirmation yet.
For context: $USDT already froze $550M+ this year alone.
If this actually goes through, it's a massive precedent for how far governments can reach into on-chain assets. Watch for:
• Which chains/protocols get hit
• Whether it's custodial (exchanges) or self-custody wallets
• Market reaction if it's a top 50 token
This isn't just about Iran. It's about how easily your bags can be frozen if you're on the wrong list.
