How Tether Blacklisting Moved Beyond the Crypto IndustryOur research into USDT blacklisting served as one of the key sources for a new Forbes article, bringing the issue of the public freeze window into a broader discussion.
The main takeaway remains the same: Tether has become faster, but the system has not become structurally safer. As long as information about an upcoming freeze becomes visible on-chain before execution, funds can still be moved before the freeze takes effect.And the scale of the issue is growing alongside the role of USDT. Tether is increasingly freezing funds in cooperation with law enforcement, yet the process can still leave a public window for assets to be moved before the freeze takes effect.
What once looked like a technical feature of the blacklisting mechanism is now becoming a broader question of infrastructure resilience.That is why we look beyond headline blacklist statistics. We analyze fund movements, the sequence of actions, and what happens before a freeze is actually executed.
