As the world's largest stablecoin, USDT is facing increasingly stringent economic sanctions scrutiny and compliance pressure. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, has frozen hundreds of millions of dollars in USDT assets linked to illicit activities and sanctions evasion. Although Tether has actively cooperated and adopted a proactive blacklisting policy, its effectiveness in combating money laundering and terrorist financing is still being questioned by U.S. senators and others, sparking widespread discussion within the crypto community about the control of centralized stablecoins.
