According to Tether’s announcement, the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD), in collaboration with the National High Tech Crime Unit and the U.S. Secret Service, successfully shut down Cryptex and Pm2btc, two exchanges accused of laundering funds tied to criminal activities, including ransomware.

Tether elaborated on Thursday that it provided proactive assistance by freezing digital assets and wallets linked to the suspects, underscoring its commitment to combating financial crimes. Chainalysis also worked alongside law enforcement during this operation, which halted exchanges that allowed criminals to convert cryptocurrencies into national currencies.

“We strongly oppose any criminal exploitation of digital assets and pledge our continued collaboration with law enforcement agencies worldwide to uphold the security, trust, and integrity of the digital finance space,” Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether remarked.

Tether also shared that it has worked with more than 180 law enforcement agencies across 45 regions, helping to freeze over $1.8 billion in assets tied to illegal activities. As of Sept. 27, Tether leads the stablecoin market with a market cap of $119.49 billion. In a recent move, Tether teamed up with Tron and TRM Labs to combat crypto crime, launching the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU).
