() Rise in Adoption of Tether's USDT in Sanctioned Countries, Chainalysis Reports
Recent data from Chainalysis, as reported by Bloomberg, suggests a potential increase in the use of Tether's USDT stablecoin in countries that are subject to international sanctions. The analysis points to a rise in the first-time use of digital wallets containing USDT in time zones that correspond to major cities such as Moscow, Tehran, Kigali, and Istanbul, covering the period from January 1st to October 8th of this year. Despite these observations, Chainalysis has emphasized that the findings are not definitive and do not conclusively demonstrate increased adoption in these regions. Concurrently, Tether is facing scrutiny from US regulatory bodies over potential violations related to anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. This situation highlights the intricate and challenging regulatory environment surrounding digital currencies, particularly in regions affected by international sanctions.
