According to @Tether_to, Tether was formally acknowledged by the US Department of Justice for its role in facilitating the seizure of $225 million in USDT linked to a major pig butchering crypto fraud scheme (source: Tether official announcement, June 18, 2025). This recognition highlights Tether’s increasing cooperation with law enforcement, which may enhance institutional trust in USDT and impact trading flows and liquidity on exchanges where USDT is a major stablecoin pair. Traders should consider USDT’s regulatory engagement as a factor in evaluating counterparty risk and market stability.
