US Senate probes $6M Tether payments to firm linked to ex-White House official lobbying stablecoin law.

US Senator Richard Blumenthal has requested detailed records from Tether on over $6 million in payments to Nxum, a firm co-founded by Bo Hines, a former White House official involved in stablecoin legislation. The payments coincided with Hines lobbying for exemptions in the GENIUS Act that would benefit Tether, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and violations of federal ethics laws. Tether denies wrongdoing, citing an internal investigation. The Senate subcommittee seeks full transparency ahead of the GENIUS Act's implementation in 2027, amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny of stablecoin issuers.

Tether's USDT token trades at Rp18.030 on Pluang as of Oct 24, 2026 00:41 WIB, showing a slight 0.18% increase in the past day. The stablecoin maintains a substantial market cap of Rp3.304,71 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp948,17 trillion. Buyer interest remains strong with 61% of order activity favoring purchases, and typical hold times average 92 days on the platform.
