CoinVoice Latest Report: According to The Wall Street Journal, Maduro played a certain role in enabling Tether to become the world's leading stablecoin, as Tether has been an important tool for Petróleos de Venezuela (PdVSA) to evade sanctions, serving as a settlement currency for oil transactions and providing an economic lifeline for Venezuelan citizens suffering from the sharp depreciation of the bolivar.

A Tether spokesperson responded by stating that the company complies with all applicable US and international sanctions regulations and works closely with US authorities including the Office of Foreign Assets Control, regularly assisting law enforcement in freezing addresses related to illegal activities or sanctions violations upon lawful request.
