AMLBot: Tether froze $3.3 billion in assets over two years, 30 times the size of Circle's.

[AMLBot: Tether Freezes $3.3 Billion in Assets Over Two Years, 30 Times the Size of Circle's] According to Mars Finance, a recent report from AMLBot shows that between 2023 and 2025, Tether froze 7,268 addresses, involving $3.29 billion in USDT, with over 53% of the frozen USDT located on the Tron network. In contrast, Circle only froze 372 addresses, amounting to $109 million in USDC, a difference of 30 times. The two companies employ drastically different strategies. Tether adopts a proactive enforcement model, cooperating with 275 law enforcement agencies globally, proactively freezing suspicious addresses and supporting a burn and reissue mechanism to return funds to victims. In July 2024 alone, it froze over $130 million, including $29.6 million related to the Cambodian Huione Group. Circle, on the other hand, only responds to court orders and regulatory requirements, exhibiting rare but concentrated freezing behavior and not supporting a burn and reissue mechanism.
