Tether just froze $344M. On Tron. For the feds.

Author: Token Metrics April 23, 2026 Duration: 7:46
Tether froze $344 million in USDT on Tron. US law enforcement asked. Tether complied. BTC knocks on $80K again. The rally is real but the resistance is too.

Today's key developments:
• Tether froze $344 million in USDT on Tron after wallets were flagged by US law enforcement — one of the largest asset freezes in the stablecoin's history.
• Bitcoin ETFs just posted a 7-day inflow streak with $1.9 billion flowing in as BTC tests the $80,000 resistance zone — and analysts say the real test starts now.
• JPMorgan says DeFi's security problem is keeping institutions out — and the data backs it up: persistent exploits and flat ETH-denominated TVL are the two metrics that keep showing up in institutional due diligence rejections.
