FAQ
Can USDT TRC-20 be frozen in my wallet?
Yes. Tether can restrict USDT at an address at the contract level. It says it does this for wallets linked to illicit activity and in coordination with law enforcement.
Does a low AML score mean my USDT cannot be frozen?
No. A score estimates risk from past transactions. It does not bind Tether, an exchange or law enforcement.
Is USDT TRC-20 the same as USDT ERC-20?
Same token, different networks with separate histories. Check on the network you are receiving on.
We never ask for seed phrases or private keys. An AML check needs only a public address. Anyone who asks for your seed phrase to “verify” a wallet is trying to steal it.
