Tether Freezes $72 Million USDT Amid Suspected Large-Scale Money Laundering Operation
According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT, on June 11, the TRON chain address TA6YHq...zCoQ received 120.2 million USDT and subsequently initiated multiple rapid transfers: over $12 million was sent to KuCoin’s deposit address; approximately $8 million was transferred to several instant-exchange platforms; and more than $8 million was bridged to the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks via the Near Intents cross-chain bridge. Additionally, this address placed a large number of Monero (XMR) buy orders, causing XMR’s price to spike briefly from $330 to $420. Minutes ago, Tether blacklisted and froze 72 million USDT in the address TBzrPE...Ak9W, which is directly linked to TA6YHq.
