Turkish authorities announced the freezing of more than half a billion dollars in assets owned by Veysel Sahin, who is accused of running illegal betting platforms and laundering criminal proceeds.

Tether Holdings SA, issuer of the stablecoin USDT, carried out the freeze at Turkey’s request, as part of its push to aid governments in crackdowns against crypto’s use in alleged crimes.
The freeze is part of a wider enforcement effort in Turkey that has already amounted to more than $1 billion in seized assets, with authorities expecting similar asset seizures targeting organizers of suspected illegal betting and payment systems.

On Jan. 30, Turkish authorities announced the freezing of more than half a billion dollars in assets owned by Veysel Sahin, who is accused of running illegal betting platforms and laundering criminal proceeds. An unidentified crypto company carried out the freeze at Turkey’s request, Istanbul’s chief prosecutor said.

That company was Tether Holdings SA, issuer of the $185 billion stablecoin USDT — part of its recent push to aid governments around the world in crackdowns against crypto’s use in a range of alleged crimes, from money laundering to drug trafficking to evading sanctions.

Tether is rapidly expanding its operations to transition from a crypto infrastructure provider to a diversified group. The company currently holds about 140 investments and employs around 300 staff, with plans to hire 150 more. New leadership, including CFO Simon, is supporting this strategic growth phase.$XRP #TetherUpdate

Some changes in the GENIUS bill are believed to help Tether achieve legal legitimacy and expand operations in the U.S. However, hopes for the passage of GENIUS are diminishing as the bill recently failed in the Senate.
The GENIUS Act (Guidance and Establishment of National Innovation for Stablecoins Act of 2025) did not pass the cloture procedure in the Senate, causing great disappointment for many supporters and slowing down the process of establishing a legal framework for digital assets in the U.S.

Tether, the company behind the widely used USDT stablecoin, is expanding into artificial intelligence (AI) with the launch of Tether.ai — a decentralized platform that combines AI tools, blockchain technology, and crypto payments like USDT and Bitcoin.
✅ What Is Tether.ai?
Tether.ai is an open-source (freely available for anyone to inspect or build upon) AI system that lets developers create and run AI agents (automated intelligent programs) directly on decentralized infrastructure — without relying on traditional tech companies or centralized servers.
Instead of needing things like API keys (digital credentials used to access services), Tether.ai is fully decentralized, meaning it works across a peer-to-peer network (users connect directly without a central authority) for greater privacy and resilience.
✅ How It Works: Personal Infinite Intelligence
At the heart of Tether.ai is a system called "Personal Infinite Intelligence", which acts as a modular and composable AI engine:
Modular = Built in flexible parts that can be added or removed.Composable = Different features can work together in different combinations.
This means developers can run AI models on various types of hardware — phones, laptops, or even edge devices — without needing expensive cloud computing platforms.
✅ Native Crypto Payments: BTC & USDT
One standout feature of Tether.ai is built-in support for Bitcoin and USDT payments, thanks to a development toolkit called WDK (Wallet Development Kit). This allows apps built on Tether.ai to:
Accept or send crypto payments directly.Create dApps (decentralized applications) that combine AI and blockchain in powerful new ways.
✅ Why It Matters
No Central Point of Failure: Unlike traditional cloud AI, if one server goes down, Tether.ai keeps working.No API Keys: Anyone can use it without centralized approval or risk of being blocked.AI for Everyone: By removing technical and financial barriers, more developers around the world can access AI tools.
✅ Real-World Use Cases
Tether is already developing practical tools with AI:
AI Translator: Real-time language translation.AI Voice Assistant: For commands and smart responses.AI Bitcoin Wallet Assistant: Helps users manage crypto with smart suggestions.
These tools were built under Tether Data, the company’s data and AI division, and will likely become part of the Tether.ai ecosystem.

✅ Strategic Background
Tether’s move into AI isn’t sudden. In 2023, it invested in Northern Data Group, a company focused on high-performance computing (HPC) — the kind of infrastructure needed to run powerful AI systems efficiently.
This shows that Tether is not just experimenting, but building a long-term foundation in both blockchain and AI sectors.
⚡ Final Thoughts
Tether.ai represents a big step forward in merging AI technology with decentralised crypto infrastructure. It could become a foundation for the next wave of AI-powered Web3 apps — making it easier for developers to build intelligent, decentralized tools for finance, healthcare, communication, and more.
Whether you're new to crypto or deep into DeFi, Tether.ai is a project to watch.
