THE BLOCK: Tether earlier today froze about $39.3 million in USDT across 10 Tron addresses linked to Xinbi Guarantee, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told The Block.
Xinbi is a Chinese-language guarantee marketplace that emerged on Telegram around 2022. TRM Labs has described it as one of Southeast Asia's largest illicit crypto marketplaces, saying it has processed about $24.2 billion in transactions.
MistTrack, an onchain tracing platform developed by SlowMist, first reported the USDT freeze.
