Catholic And Law Enforcement Groups Warn CLARITY Act Could Weaken Crypto Crime Safeguards

A coalition of Catholic leaders, law enforcement groups, and anti-trafficking advocates warns that the CLARITY Act could weaken safeguards against crypto-enabled crime. Their criticism focuses on provisions that would protect developers of non-custodial software (like wallets and DeFi protocols) from being regulated as money transmitters. This highlights a core regulatory dilemma: distinguishing neutral software from financial intermediation. Crypto advocates argue such developers should not be treated like exchanges, while critics fear broad exemptions could hinder the tracking of illicit finance, including human trafficking and sanctions evasion. The bill aims to create clearer market-structure rules, but this opposition shows the debate extends beyond investor protection to law enforcement concerns. The pushback means supporters may need to address these issues, potentially leading to amendments or stricter requirements. For the crypto industry, clearer rules could spur U.S. investment, but the bill faces a tougher political path if framed as weakening crime-fighting tools.

CLARITY Act Hits New Roadblock As Ethics Agreement Collapses In Senate Talks

The CLARITY Act has encountered a new obstacle as a bipartisan Senate group's agreement on ethics provisions collapsed. Republicans reportedly reversed their position on a key element that would have allowed state attorneys general to sue the Department of Justice for failing to enforce ethics rules related to President Trump. Democrats viewed this as an "about face" from a prior tentative deal. As a counter-proposal, Republicans suggested limiting enforcement authority to the Attorney General and mentioned impeachment as a potential remedy for violations. The impasse leaves the crypto market structure bill's path to a full Senate vote uncertain. Another major hurdle involves law enforcement groups' concerns that the bill could hinder investigations into blockchain-related crimes like money laundering. The White House Crypto Council is scheduled to meet with these groups to address these issues, particularly around the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. Key Democratic senators have stated their support for the CLARITY Act is contingent on adequately addressing both ethics and law enforcement concerns.

Crypto Criminals In Crosshairs As Chainalysis Partners With South Korean Police

South Korea's national police have partnered with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to strengthen their investigative capabilities against crypto-related crimes. The agreement, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, provides Korean investigators with access to specialized training and certification programs. This collaboration aims to build institutional expertise for tackling a broad spectrum of virtual asset crimes, including money laundering and state-sponsored hacking. The move follows the recent creation of a dedicated multi-agency task force to eradicate crypto-based money laundering. While North Korea-linked crypto theft, which saw massive losses in 2025, is a significant concern, officials emphasize the partnership is designed to enhance overall investigative capacity for handling complex, cross-border crypto crime cases.

Tether Ramps Up Wallet Freezes, Blocking Over $500M In USDT

Tether has significantly increased its wallet freezing activity, blocking over $514 million in USDT across 370 addresses on the Tron and Ethereum networks in just the past 30 days. Data from BlockSec shows the vast majority of these freezes (328 addresses, $506 million) occurred on Tron. The pace is accelerating, with the 2025 annual total of $1.26 billion across 4,163 addresses at risk of being surpassed this year. Once frozen, wallets are rarely reinstated, and more than half of the associated funds are typically permanently destroyed. A growing portion of these enforcement actions are coordinated with law enforcement. Recent examples include freezing $344 million linked to suspected sanctions evasion with Iran and $61 million tied to "pig butchering" scams. Cumulatively from 2023-2025, Tether has frozen roughly $3.3 billion across 7,268 addresses, far exceeding actions by competitors like Circle. This surge has sparked broader debate within crypto about the power issuers and projects hold to freeze or recover funds, highlighting how compliance and central controls remain integral behind the scenes of decentralized ecosystems.

Tether’s Mega-Freeze: $344M USDT Locked Down In Major Operation With US Authorities

Tether has frozen $344 million in USDT held in two Tron wallets at the request of US authorities, including OFAC, after the wallets were linked to sanctions evasion and criminal activity. The company emphasized its routine cooperation with global law enforcement, having supported over 2,300 cases and frozen more than $4.4 billion in assets to date. This action contrasts with increased scrutiny on rival stablecoin issuer Circle, which faces a lawsuit over its alleged failure to promptly freeze $280 million stolen in the Drift Protocol hack. Tether also announced a collaboration with Drift Protocol to support recovery efforts with nearly $150 million in backing.

Crypto Victims Relieved – Or Too Late? What Operation Atlantic Really Means

Operation Atlantic is a major UK-US-Canada law enforcement initiative targeting crypto fraud and approval-phishing scams, involving agencies like the UK's National Crime Agency and the U.S. Secret Service, along with private partners such as Chainalysis. The operation aims to identify victims and compromised wallets in real time, freeze illicit funds before laundering, and generate investigative leads. Initial results include over 20,000 identified victims, more than 20,000 flagged wallet addresses, and over $12 million in frozen suspected scam proceeds. Globally, $45 million in stolen crypto has been identified. Approval phishing scams trick users into signing malicious transactions, allowing direct wallet draining. The operation highlights growing efforts to combat these rapidly evolving crypto crimes.

UK, US, Canada launch Operation Atlantic to fight crypto scams: Report

The US, UK, and Canada have launched Operation Atlantic, a joint initiative to combat crypto scams in real-time. Led by the US Secret Service, the UK's National Crime Agency, and Canadian authorities, the operation focuses on proactively detecting and preventing fraud, rather than just tracing stolen funds after the fact. The primary target is "approval phishing," where victims are tricked into signing malicious smart contracts that grant attackers access to their wallets. Authorities will collaborate with crypto exchanges and blockchain firms to monitor suspicious transactions and directly contact potential victims before funds are stolen. The operation also targets "pig butchering" scams, a long-term social engineering scheme. This initiative builds on previous efforts like Canada's Project Atlas. While Chainalysis reports scammers received around $14 billion in crypto in 2025, TRM Labs notes illicit activity still only represents about 1.2% of total market volume, indicating the legitimate crypto economy is growing faster. The operation highlights a shift toward cross-border, proactive law enforcement response to increasingly globalized crypto crime.
