The seizure, part of a broader crackdown on unregistered fiat gateways, targeted EQIBank’s U.S. operations where the assets were held. Tether disclosed that its maximum possible exposure to the bank remains below $64 million, well under the seized amount. The company emphasized that its internal risk controls have insulated the stablecoin’s reserves from direct impact.
