Odaily星球日报讯 《华尔街日报》（WSJ）发文表示，Tether（USDT）正在破坏美国打击军火商、制裁破坏者和诈骗者的斗争。2023 年，通过 Tether 网络流动的资金几乎与通过 Visa 卡的一样多，全年净利润达 62 亿美元，已经超越了资管巨头贝莱德（普通股股东净利润 55 亿美元），但 Tether 的员工数量（不足 100 人）只是贝莱德的一小部分。 文章指出，Tether 虽然会审查直接客户的身份，但其庞大的二级市场却不受监管。根据联合国今年 1 月的一份报告称，USDT 是东南亚洗钱的“首选”。

WSJ：Tether正扰乱美国的全球制裁体系

According to the Odaily Planet Daily Report, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an article stating that Tether (USDT) is undermining the United States' efforts to crack down on arms dealers, sanctions violators, and fraudsters. In 2023, the funds flowing through the Tether network are almost as much as those through Visa cards, with an annual net profit of $6.2 billion, surpassing the asset management giant BlackRock (net profit of $5.5 billion for ordinary shareholders), but Tether's number of employees (less than 100) is only a small fraction of BlackRock's. The article points out that while Tether does vet the identities of its direct clients, its vast secondary market is unregulated. According to a UN report in January this year, USDT is the "preferred" choice for money laundering in Southeast Asia.

In 2023, the amount of money flowing through the Tether network will be almost as much as that through Visa cards, with a full-year net profit of $6.2 billion, surpassing asset management giant BlackRock (common shareholders&#39; net profit of $5.5 billion), but Tether&#39;s number of employees (less than 100) is only a small fraction of BlackRock&#39;s. The article pointed out that although Tether will review the identity of direct customers, its huge secondary market is unregulated. According to a United Nations report in January this year, USDT is the &quot;first choice&quot; for money laundering in Southeast Asia.

WSJ: Tether is disrupting the US global sanctions system

Odaily reported that the US consumer protection organization Consumers' Research released a report on September 12, warning that the stablecoin issuer Tether lacks transparency in its US dollar reserves. The organization pointed out that although Tether has repeatedly promised to audit its USDT reserves, it has not yet provided a complete audit by a renowned accounting firm. The author of the report believes that this lack of transparency is similar to the situation that led to the collapse of FTX and Alameda Research. It also issued an open letter to the governors of US states, emphasizing the potential risks of Tether. At the same time, Tether actively responded to external questions. In July this year, it hired former Chainalysis chief economist Philip Gradwell to provide a report on the use of USDT, and in August announced that it would assist law enforcement agencies in recovering $108.8 million in USDT related to illegal activities. In the first half of September, Tether also announced a partnership with TRON to establish a financial crime department.
