Crypto-Backed Super PAC Launches Midterm Election Endorsements Push

A crypto-aligned super PAC named Fellowship PAC, chaired by Tether's head of government affairs Jesse Spiro, has launched its 2026 midterm election push with over $100 million to spend. Its first action was a $300,000 ad buy supporting a Republican candidate in a Georgia congressional race. The PAC has also endorsed several other Republican candidates in key Senate and gubernatorial races across five states. This strategy mirrors previous crypto-backed efforts, like the Fairshake PAC, which spent heavily in the 2024 cycle. Meanwhile, major crypto legislation, the CLARITY Act, remains stalled in the Senate.

Not Just USDT: Tether Wallet Is Attempting to Take Over the Payment System for Ordinary People

Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, has launched Tether Wallet, branded as "The People's Wallet," marking a strategic shift from being primarily an asset issuer to directly engaging with end-users. This move aims to capture retail traffic and create a closed-loop ecosystem by offering a simplified payment interface. The wallet eliminates key barriers to crypto adoption: complex hexadecimal addresses are replaced with human-readable usernames (e.g., username@tether), transaction fees (gas) are abstracted and paid directly in the transferred asset, and self-custody is combined with an encrypted cloud backup system for easier recovery. Supported assets include USDT on Ethereum, Polygon, and other networks, as well as Bitcoin and Tether’s gold-backed XAUT. Notably, it does not yet support Tron, where nearly half of all USDT is issued. By drastically reducing friction in cross-border payments—enabling instant, low-cost transfers via email-like addresses—Tether is positioning USDT to dominate small-value international settlements, particularly in emerging markets. This challenges traditional remittance services and competing stablecoins like USDC by leveraging its first-mover advantage and network effects. The piece also highlights underlying tensions: while promoting financial inclusion for the unbanked, Tether’s centralized infrastructure creates potential regulatory vulnerabilities. The wallet’s design also anticipates future use by AI agents for machine-to-machine payments. Ultimately, Tether Wallet represents both an expansion of Tether’s influence and a critical test of balancing efficiency, decentralization, and regulatory compliance in the evolving digital financial landscape.

Nearly $300 Million Aimed at U.S. Midterm Elections, Tether Executive Takes Helm of Crypto Industry's Second-Largest Political Fund

A crypto super PAC named Fellowship, which claims to have raised over $100 million but has reported zero spending to the FEC, has appointed Jesse Spiro, Tether’s VP of Regulatory Affairs, as its chairman. This marks the first official public link between Tether and the PAC, despite earlier denials. Meanwhile, another major crypto PAC, Fairshake—backed by Coinbase, Ripple, and a16z—has amassed $193 million and has already spent over $8.6 million in Illinois primary races. Combined, the two PACs control nearly $300 million aimed at influencing the November midterm elections. The move comes as the crypto industry faces a critical legislative battle over the CLARITY Act, currently stalled in the Senate. A key point of contention is whether stablecoins can pay yields to users—a issue directly affecting Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, USDT. A recent Senate proposal would ban passive yield but allow transaction-based rewards, a compromise the industry finds too restrictive. With the White House’s top crypto advocate departing and the legislative window narrowing, Tether’s heightened political engagement signals a strategic push to shape regulation and protect its business interests through financial influence.

Nearly $300 Million Aimed at U.S. Midterm Elections, Tether Executive Takes Helm of Crypto Industry's Second-Largest Political Fund

A crypto super PAC named Fellowship, which claims to have raised over $100 million but has yet to spend any funds, has named Jesse Spiro, Tether’s VP of Regulatory Affairs, as its chairman. This marks the first official public link between Tether and the PAC. Meanwhile, another major crypto PAC, Fairshake—backed by Coinbase, Ripple, and a16z—has amassed $193 million. Combined, the two PACs are directing nearly $300 million toward the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Fellowship, formed in August 2025, had previously drawn speculation over its undisclosed donors and lack of activity. Federal Election Commission records show no reported donations or expenditures as of December 2023. Spiro’s appointment signals a more public role for the group, which plans to soon announce its first candidate endorsements. The move comes amid a legislative standoff in the Senate over the CLARITY Act, which includes contentious provisions on stablecoin yield payments—a key issue for Tether, the issuer of USDT. With critical crypto legislation at stake and the White House’s top digital assets adviser role now vacant, the industry is ramping up political spending to influence regulatory outcomes.

Tether Hires Big Four Auditor, USDT Enters Verifiable Stage for the First Time

Tether, the issuer of USDT, has hired Big Four firm KPMG to conduct a full financial audit of its $127 billion reserves. This marks a significant shift for the controversial stablecoin, moving it into a verifiable financial framework for the first time. Unlike previous attestations, which only confirmed reserves at a point in time, a GAAP-based audit will examine asset origins, internal controls, and financial reliability over time. This development is seen as more impactful than pending legislation, as institutional adoption relies on audited financials rather than regulatory promises. If KPMG issues an unqualified opinion, Tether’s credibility could be fundamentally upgraded, pressuring other stablecoin issuers without Big Four audits to follow suit. The move may accelerate institutional adoption by pensions, corporates, and payment firms, while reshaping the stablecoin landscape. Despite years of regulatory scrutiny and skepticism, Tether has maintained dominance due to its global liquidity and accessibility. An audit could reposition USDT from a contested asset to a verifiable financial instrument, reducing counterparty risk and encouraging broader use in digital infrastructure. The outcome of the audit will be critical: a clean opinion may validate the entire asset class, while a qualified one could introduce new challenges. The industry is watching closely, as this audit could signal a new phase of institutional acceptance for stablecoins.

KPMG, PwC Involved In Tether’s First-Ever Audit: Report

Tether has engaged KPMG to conduct its first-ever full independent financial audit, while also working with PwC to prepare its internal systems. This move comes amid longstanding criticism over the transparency of Tether’s asset reserves, including a past $41 million fine from the CFTC. Despite these challenges, Tether’s USDT remains the dominant stablecoin with a $184 billion market valuation. The company is expanding its presence in the U.S., including the recent introduction of USAT, a compliant dollar-backed stablecoin for American investors. The audit is seen as a key step in building trust and supporting Tether’s growth. The article also notes broader stablecoin regulatory developments in the U.S., Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Europe, where a bank consortium plans to launch a euro-backed stablecoin by 2026. Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded around $67,700, down 4% over the week.

Swan Bitcoin Moves To Subpoena US Secretary Of Commerce And Cantor Fitzgerald –Details

Swan Bitcoin has requested a US court for permission to subpoena Cantor Fitzgerald and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (its former CEO) in a dispute involving Tether. The company alleges a conspiracy in mid-2024 where employees, including ex-CIO Raphael Zagury, collaborated with Tether personnel to undermine their joint venture, 2040 Energy. Following a mass resignation and alleged theft of documents, the defectors formed a new entity called Proton. Tether-appointed directors later approved the sale of the venture's mining assets to a Tether subsidiary at a significantly undervalued price. Swan claims Lutnick, introduced by Tether's Giancarlo Devasini, had access to confidential data and mining details before abruptly cutting contact. The firm seeks evidence for foreign legal proceedings against Tether executives.

Crypto Sleuth Links Russian OTC Desk To $4.7M Laundering

ZachXBT, an anonymous blockchain investigator, has identified Russian OTC broker Aleksandr Khinkis as the central figure in a money laundering scheme involving over $4.7 million from three separate ransomware payments totaling 796 BTC. The investigation, which included an undercover Telegram conversation, revealed that Khinkis provided an exchange deposit address that became the anchor for tracing the illicit flows. The funds moved through multiple networks, including Bitcoin, Avalanche, and Tron, with some addresses later frozen by Tether. A dormant 73-BTC wallet remains under watch. Law enforcement has received the detailed transaction records, though no arrests have been announced.

Tether Signs Big Four Auditor, Circle's Compliance Moat Collapses, Stock Plummets 20%

Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, has announced it has engaged one of the Big Four accounting firms to conduct its first-ever comprehensive independent financial audit. This move is seen as a major step toward transparency for the company, which has long faced scrutiny over its reserve backing. The announcement had an immediate market impact, with shares of its competitor Circle, issuer of USDC, plummeting up to 20%. The audit is positioned as a turning point for Tether, which paid nearly $60 million in fines in 2021 following investigations by the New York Attorney General and the CFTC over misrepresentations about its reserves. While Tether has since published quarterly attestations, this full audit is considered a significant upgrade in legitimacy. This development directly challenges Circle's key advantage of perceived regulatory compliance and transparency. With a market cap of over $184 billion, Tether's newfound transparency could solidify its dominant position and attract more institutional capital. The article also details Tether's broader compliance strategy, including the launch of a fully U.S.-regulated stablecoin, USAT, designed to comply with the GENIUS Act. Furthermore, Tether has enhanced its cooperation with law enforcement, assisting in numerous investigations and freezing billions in assets linked to illicit activity. In conclusion, Tether's audit marks a pivotal moment for the entire stablecoin industry, signaling a shift towards greater institutionalization and transparency that aligns with traditional financial standards.
