Tether Responds to Allegations of Regulatory Investigation

The cryptocurrency market has faced challenges due to FUD surrounding stablecoins during bear markets. Since the collapse of Evergrande, we had not encountered negative reports about USDT. However, recent reports indicate that the largest stablecoin issuer in the US is under scrutiny, prompting the company to respond to these claims.

Tether Investigation

According to claims by WSJ, an investigation has been initiated against the company, potentially putting it in a difficult position for violating sanctions. Various allegations surfaced, including the possibility of the US Treasury Department imposing sanctions on the company. All these developments could have devastating consequences for USDT and may also lead to a decline in cryptocurrencies.

In response to these allegations, Tether stated that the WSJ’s articles contain irresponsible claims without any official verification or source attribution. These stories are based entirely on speculation, even though Tether confirmed that it is unaware of such investigations against the company.

The article further neglects Tether’s well-documented and extensive agreements with law enforcement to combat malicious actors seeking to misuse Tether and other cryptocurrencies.

Tether CEO has frequently stated that the company collaborates with law enforcement in numerous countries to facilitate their work.
