Tether has taken another bold step in its fight against crypto-related crime. In a single operation, the company froze $182 million worth of stablecoins held in five TRON-based wallets. According to investigations, the addresses were involved in suspicious and likely illegal activities — including trust scams and attacks on personal wallets.

Five Wallets Blacklisted in a Single Transaction

All funds were frozen in one swift transaction, with the addresses immediately added to Tether's blacklist. The move sends a clear message: USDT is being closely monitored, and any misuse will be acted upon.

Over $3.3 Billion Frozen to Date

Since 2023, Tether has frozen more than $3.3 billion in stablecoins. Most of this was on the Ethereum network (over $1.5 billion), but TRON is increasingly being targeted by scammers. Currently, more than 7,200 addresses are on the blacklist.

Fraud, Lack of KYC, and Iranian Links

Some of the frozen wallets are reportedly tied to users without verified identities (KYC) or to entities operating out of Iran, raising regulatory red flags. Freezing such addresses remains one of the few effective tools against fraud and money laundering.

T2 Financial Crime Unit in Partnership with TRON

In 2024, Tether established the T2 Financial Crime Unit, a task force created in cooperation with TRON to track and block illicit fund flows. The unit has already identified over $300 million in suspicious transactions.

TRON Network Grows Despite Risks

The TRON network now hosts more than 82 billion USDT tokens. Transactions typically align with Asian trading hours, and most transfers originate from wallets holding less than 100 USDT. The average transaction ranges between $100 and $1,000.

P2P Payments and Fraud Risks

TRON-based USDT remains a popular tool for peer-to-peer payments, but it's also widely used on fraudulent marketplaces. Only a small fraction of stolen funds can be recovered, as they're quickly scattered across hundreds of smaller wallets.

According to The Block, Whale Alert data shows that on January 11, #Tether froze more than $182 million worth of #USDT across five wallet addresses on the #Tron blockchain in a single day. The affected wallets held balances ranging from approximately $12 million to $50 million, marking one of the largest single-day wallet freeze actions on Tron in recent months.
The move aligns with Tether’s voluntary wallet-freezing policy launched in December 2023, aimed at complying with the U.S. Treasury Department’s OFAC sanctions list.

The TRON DeFi ecosystem continues to be anchored by JustLend DAO, a decentralized money market protocol designed to let users put idle assets to work in a capital efficient way.

Built as an open, on-chain lending and borrowing system, JustLend DAO allows anyone to participate without intermediaries, relying entirely on smart contracts and transparent DAO governance.

At its core, the protocol enables users to supply supported assets and earn yield, borrow assets by providing collateral, stake TRX, participate in stablecoin strategies, and reduce transaction costs through energy-related tools.

All activities are visible on-chain, and rates adjust algorithmically based on real supply and demand, not manual intervention.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗲𝗙𝗶:

▫️Total Value Locked: $6.89 billion, showing deep liquidity and sustained usage across lending, borrowing, and staking markets

▫️Grants Power: $192 million+, allocated to support ecosystem development, integrations, and long-term protocol growth

▫️Ecosystem Users: Over 480,000 users interacting with the protocol and its products

One of the most used components is sTRX, the liquid staking representation of staked TRX.

When users stake TRX through JustLend DAO, they receive sTRX, which continues to accrue staking rewards while remaining usable across DeFi.

Instead of locking capital and losing flexibility, sTRX allows users to stay liquid while earning yield.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗧𝗥𝗫 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:

▫️Continuous staking rewards reflected in the sTRX value

▫️Usability across DeFi without needing to unstake TRX

▫️Compatibility with other JustLend DAO features such as supplying, borrowing, or stablecoin strategies

At the time of this snapshot, sTRX offers up to 6.58% APY, derived from on-chain staking rewards and protocol mechanics.

Rates may vary depending on network conditions and participation levels, and all returns are visible directly within the app interface.

JustLend DAO is governed by its community through DAO proposals and voting, with protocol revenues and parameters managed transparently.

The regular buyback and ecosystem funding mechanisms are designed to reinforce long-term sustainability rather than short-term incentives.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗲𝗙𝗶 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗔𝗢 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿:

▫️Earn yield by supplying assets

▫️Access liquidity by borrowing against collateral

▫️Stake TRX while retaining flexibility via sTRX

▫️Optimize transaction costs using energy-related tools

▫️Participate in a DAO-governed, on-chain financial system
