How does the technical freeze mechanism actually work for stablecoins?
-
Freeze functions making funds unmovable by anyone including the person who owns them is Circle and Tether's way of saying not your keys not your coins applies to us too.
-
stablecoins aren’t as “unstoppable” as people think

-
blacklist = funds still there… just not yours anymore
-
Code can freeze faster than any bank.
-
Decentralization vs compliance — constant tradeoff.
-
They can’t take it… but they can lock it.
-
Recovery possible… but only if issuer allows it.
-
Great for stopping hacks, scary for sovereignty.
-
Not all crypto is censorship-resistant.
-
Stablecoins = permissioned rails in a permissionless world.
-
Would you trade freedom for safety?
