Recently, the company helped the U.S. Department of Justice block $61 million connected to “pig-butchering” scams. With a total circulating supply now above $180 billion, Tether can remotely freeze tokens in user wallets when requested by authorities, demonstrating how stablecoins can play a role in combating crypto-related crime.
