Tether freezes over $1.5B in stolen USDT within 30 minutes of Binance hack
Share X post
AI summary

Tether said it froze more than $1.5 billion in stolen USDT within 30 minutes of the Binance hack, blocking access to those funds. The announcement followed the FBI's attribution of the attack to North Korea. For traders, the swift freeze limits the liquid supply of stolen stablecoins and shows issuer-level intervention can blunt the market impact of a large exchange breach.
