U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has requested Cantor Fitzgerald to provide detailed records about its financial ties to Tether, including a reported $10 billion stake and payments to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The inquiry focuses on Cantor's ownership of about 5% of Tether, its earnings from the partnership, and compliance with sanctions, especially regarding alleged Iran-related transactions using Tether's USDT stablecoin. Blumenthal also seeks information on Lutnick's income, ownership transfers, and communications related to Tether's regulatory matters. Cantor Fitzgerald must respond by October 23, 2026, amid ongoing concerns about Tether's role in sanctions evasion and national security risks.
