Tether collaborates with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

Odaily reported that Tether today announced a joint initiative with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). UNODC is a global leader in combating illicit drugs, transnational organized crime, terrorism, and corruption. As the third fastest-growing region for cryptocurrency adoption worldwide, Africa is increasingly vulnerable to digital asset scams and fraud. In a recent operation conducted by Interpol in Africa, illegal cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies worth $260 million were seized, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity in Africa to combat cybercrime activities.
