US, UK Investigate $20 Billion of Crypto Transfers To Garantex Russian Exchange
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. and U.K. are investigating more than $20 billion worth of USDT transactions that have passed through Garantex, a Russia-based crypto exchange. Milk Road reports: If confirmed, the $20 billion in transactions would represent one of the most significant breaches of the sanctions imposed on Russia since the conflict began. However, the sources cautioned that the inquiries are ongoing and that it is too early to draw conclusions given the complexity of crypto transactions. They also noted that there was no immediate suggestion of wrongdoing by Tether. Key points: - The transactions under scrutiny were conducted using Tether (USDT).- The US and UK sanctioned Garantex on suspicion of facilitating financial crimes and illicit transactions in Russia.- The $20 billion USDT transactions would represent one of the biggest breaches of sanctions imposed on Russia since the start of the war.- Tether froze assets of entities on the U.S. sanctions list.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
