TREE NEWS update: Conduit has filed suit against Tether in New York federal court, alleging the USDT issuer froze $2.76 million of its funds for more than a year without explanation. The plaintiff argues Tether has “no legal entitlement” to the money. The case challenges the stablecoin issuer’s ability to unilaterally block customer funds.

AI take
This is less about the dollar figure than about the precedent: a stablecoin issuer's freeze power is being tested in a US federal court rather than resolved through internal policy. For businesses holding USDT as working capital, the case puts a spotlight on counterparty and contractual risk that token design tends to obscure. The point worth watching is whether the court treats freezing as a contractual matter or reaches the broader question of what backing and redemption rights actually guarantee.
