[Senator urges immediate Tether probe over alleged Iran sanctions violations]
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, urged an immediate investigation into Tether and accountability for potential sanctions violations involving Iran after 84% of crypto wallets tied to Iran and sanctioned by the U.S. and Israel were found to have handled all or nearly all transactions in Tether’s USDT.
Blumenthal said Tether and USDT had become central to Iran’s shadow financial system and argued the Trump administration’s apparent failure to properly oversee crypto issuers had undermined U.S. national security interests. For that reason, Blumenthal said the Treasury Department and Justice Department should immediately investigate Tether and pursue accountability over potential Iran-related sanctions violations.

[Ledger CTO says estimate that only 30% of BTC faces quantum risk is inaccurate]
Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet challenged an analysis suggesting only about 30% of Bitcoin is exposed to quantum-computing attack risk, stressing that public keys can be exposed through xpubs, devices, PSBTs, logs and backups, not just through spent on-chain outputs. Citing Glassnode data, Guillemet said about 30.2% of BTC has exposed spent public keys on-chain, but added that public keys are also revealed during BTC transfers before transactions are confirmed. Guillemet emphasized that if sufficiently fast quantum computers emerge, hiding public keys alone would not be enough and Bitcoin would ultimately need to transition to a quantum-resistant cryptographic system.

[Tether says it froze $550M in Iran-linked USDT this year, citing law enforcement cooperation]
After the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said 84% of crypto wallets tied to Iran and sanctioned by the U.S. and Israel processed all or nearly all transactions in Tether, Tether pushed back, saying it froze about $550 million worth of Iran-linked USDT in 2026. Tether said it has worked with U.S. and international law enforcement authorities to comply with relevant regulations and also cooperated with the economic sanctions Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently imposed on Iran. Tether added it has consistently shown USDT is not a safe haven for sanctioned actors, terrorist groups, or criminal networks, and stressed that U.S. authorities including the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Secret Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control have repeatedly acknowledged its role in major law enforcement operations.

Eighty-one percent of companies have allocated budget this year to build digital asset infrastructure, according to a survey conducted by Fireblocks. Among all institutions surveyed, 53% are investing more than $1 million annually, but only 16% have built services through to the operational stage. The share of companies that have already launched tokenized-asset-related services stood at 11%. Respondents cited a shortage of specialized talent and integration issues with existing systems, rather than regulation, as the main barriers to adoption. The survey was conducted in January.
