Tether addresses UN claims on ‘illicit activity’ involving USDT

Tether, a prominent stablecoin firm, has responded to claims made by the United Nations regarding the use of its USDT stablecoin in illegal operations.

The report, named “Casinos, Money Laundering, Underground Banking, and Transnational Organized Crime in East and Southeast Asia: A Hidden, Accelerating Threat,” identified the USDT stablecoin, particularly on the Tron blockchain, as a key tool for money laundering in the region, citing its stability, transaction anonymity, and low fees. In response, Tether, on the same day, refuted the UN’s findings, arguing that the report overlooked the traceability of USDT and its history of cooperation with global law enforcement agencies.
