Tether’s latest move in South Korea goes beyond protecting a product name.

US authorities are reportedly stepping up efforts to disrupt Iran’s cryptocurrency activity, as Washington works to choke off financial channels linked to the regime amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.  ‘Breadcrumbs’ In Crypto A FOX Business report released Wednesday points to new figures from a threat-detection data firm estimating that Tehran controls roughly $7.7 billion in digital assets.  Officials and analysts behind the crackdown argue that, despite claims by foreign adversaries that cryptocurrencies can help them evade sanctions, the technology can still leave clear trails that investigators can follow. Chris Perkins, the CEO of 250 Digital Asset Management, is quoted in the report describing why crypto can be useful for law enforcement to monitor.  He said investigators repeatedly found that adversaries using digital assets inadvertently create “breadcrumbs,” making transactions easier to track than some might expect.  Iran Advances Hormuz Insurance Using Bitco...
