Tether collaborates with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Tether announced today a joint initiative with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). UNODC is a global leader in combating illegal drugs, transnational organized crime, terrorism, and corruption. Africa, as the third fastest-growing region for cryptocurrencies worldwide, 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, indicating that Africa urgently needs to strengthen cybersecurity to combat cybercrime activities.
