The US Senate has launched an investigation into Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, over allegations it paid $6.3 million to a consulting firm linked to Bo Hines, a former White House crypto adviser. The payments were reportedly made through intermediaries to bypass ethical rules, aiming to secure favorable changes to the GENIUS Act, which regulates stablecoins. The Senate demands all related contracts and communications by November 6, 2026, threatening sanctions.
