Senate probe targets Tether payments to ex-White House crypto adviser Bo Hines' firm.

Senator Richard Blumenthal is investigating payments made by Tether to Nxum, a consulting firm co-founded by Bo Hines, a former White House crypto adviser now leading Tether's U.S. operations. The probe focuses on potential ethical and legal issues since payments were made while Hines was shaping crypto policy in the White House. Blumenthal has sent letters demanding details about these business arrangements amid broader scrutiny of Tether's activities. This investigation could intensify if Democrats regain Senate control, with crypto oversight as a key focus for Blumenthal's subcommittee.

Tether's USDT maintains a market cap of Rp3.303,46 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of Rp1.224,91 trillion on Pluang as of Oct 23, 2026 06:03 WIB. The stablecoin's price is Rp17.998 with a slight 1-day increase of 0.09%, reflecting steady trading activity amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny. Buy orders slightly outnumber sell orders at 51% to 49%, and typical hold time on Pluang is 91 days, indicating moderate investor confidence despite the investigation news.
