USDTUSD

Andrey Zverev, a Russian operative, used Tether (USDT) to transfer millions of dollars for securing drone components for Kalashnikov Concern, bypassing international sanctions. This highlights a significant loophole in sanction enforcement, with over $10 trillion in transactions using Tether in 2023 alone. The U.S. Treasury Department seeks regulatory authority over U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins like Tether to close this gap. Tether Holdings has initiated a policy to freeze transactions linked to sanctioned entities, but the use of Tether in circumventing sanctions remains a concern.
