"Ripple CEO Predicts Tether as Next Target for US Government"

According to PANews, Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has recently suggested that Tether, the issuer of USDT, could be the next enforcement target for the US government. Garlinghouse believes that Tether plays a significant role in the cryptocurrency market system, and he is uncertain about the potential impact this could have on the market.

A few months ago, some reports from government agencies claimed that Tether (USDT) was being used as a payment option for terrorist organizations, illegal financing, and money laundering. In response to these allegations, Tether's executives stated that USDT had never been used for any large-scale illegal activities, and any small-scale misuse of USDT had been successfully curtailed.
