South Korean police arrested 23 people for laundering about $11.1 million using the stablecoin USDT from February 2024 to April 2025. The group converted illicit funds, linked to phishing scams, into USDT and moved them through crypto exchanges to hide their origin. This case highlights growing concerns over stablecoin misuse, prompting South Korea to strengthen crypto enforcement with a dedicated task force. Authorities continue to investigate larger laundering rings and cross-border operations involving stablecoins.
