USDT is back in the US spotlight.
A report by Senate Democrats says that 84% of 846 Iran-related wallets primarily use USDT.
One sanctioned oil-smuggling network even transferred more than $603 million through USDT.
Tether, meanwhile, says it has frozen about $550 million in Iran-linked USDT in 2026.
As stablecoins continue to grow, will regulators treat them as financial infrastructure or as a risk tool?
