A U.S. Senator, Cynthia Lummis, recently expressed that Tether, a stablecoin company, may face regulatory challenges if it chooses to remain offshore. Lummis emphasized the importance of companies being located within the U.S. economy to meet regulatory standards. However, she acknowledged that if Tether decides to operate outside the U.S. jurisdiction, it would be a business decision for them.
Lummis pointed out that regulators in other countries may potentially take over the oversight of Tether if it operates offshore. She highlighted the significance of U.S.-based companies complying with regulatory requirements and being part of the national economy.
The comments from Lummis come amidst ongoing discussions around the regulation of stablecoins and digital assets. It remains to be seen how Tether and other companies in the crypto space navigate the evolving regulatory landscape while continuing their operations.
