The world's biggest stablecoin, tether, saw more than $10 billion in redemptions in May, fueling fears of a 2008-style "bank run." Tether froze 32 virtual wallets linked to crypto-funded terrorism and warfare in Israel and Ukraine, according to a media release published Monday. Tether, which issues the world's largest stablecoin of the same name, says it has been collaborating with the National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing of Israel in its efforts. "Tether remains committed to promoting responsible blockchain technology use and standing as a robust defense against cybercrime," continued Ardoino. "We eagerly anticipate continued collaboration with global law enforcement agencies as part of our commitment to global security and financial integrity."
