Tether 提高警惕打擊加密貨幣非法金融

為了遏制非法金融活動，最大的穩定幣 Tether 與 Chainaanalysis 合作實施新的監控工具。這些工具可以識別與受制裁實體相關的交易並分析主要代幣持有者的活動。先前有報導稱，Tether 的代幣被委內瑞拉國家石油公司 (PDVSA) 用來逃避石油製裁，並被俄羅斯中間人用來在西方制裁期間採購武器零件。

Tether Ramps Up Vigilance to Combat Illicit Finance in Cryptoverse

Tether 提高警惕，打擊加密貨幣領域的非法金融

London, May 12, 2023 - Tether, the world's preeminent stablecoin, has unveiled a comprehensive monitoring system to enhance its oversight of token usage within the sprawling crypto markets and payment ecosystem. This proactive measure is designed to thwart malicious actors leveraging Tether for illicit financing activities.

倫敦，2023 年 5 月 12 日 - 全球卓越的穩定幣 Tether 推出了一套全面的監控系統，以加強對龐大的加密市場和支付生態系統中代幣使用情況的監管。這項主動措施旨在阻止惡意行為者利用 Tether 進行非法融資活動。

"We are unwavering in our commitment to combating illicit finance and ensuring that Tether is not utilized for nefarious purposes," Tether asserted in a statement released today.

Tether 在今天發布的聲明中表示：“我們堅定不移地致力於打擊非法金融並確保 Tether 不被用於邪惡目的。”

Tether has forged an alliance with Chainalysis, a renowned blockchain analytics firm, to deploy cutting-edge tools that meticulously identify transactions linked to sanctioned entities. Additionally, the collaboration empowers Tether to scrutinize the activities of major token holders, enabling the detection of anomalous patterns that may indicate illicit activity.

Tether 與著名的區塊鏈分析公司 Chainaanalysis 結盟，部署尖端工具，仔細識別與受制裁實體相關的交易。此外，此次合作使 Tether 能夠審查主要代幣持有者的活動，從而能夠檢測可能表明非法活動的異常模式。

The move comes amidst recent reports indicating the attempted use of Tether in circumventing international sanctions. Reuters reported last month that Venezuela's state-run oil behemoth, PDVSA, was contemplating expanding Tether's utilization in its crude and fuel exports, a development coinciding with the reimposition of U.S. oil sanctions.

此舉發生在最近有報告指出 Tether 試圖規避國際制裁的背景下。路透社上個月報道稱，委內瑞拉國營石油巨頭 PDVSA 正在考慮擴大 Tether 在其原油和燃料出口的使用，這一進展恰逢美國重新實施石油製裁。

Additionally, The Wall Street Journal revealed in April that Russian intermediaries had exploited Tether as a conduit to evade Western sanctions, facilitating the acquisition of weapons components for drones and other military equipment.

此外，《華爾街日報》在 4 月透露，俄羅斯中間人利用 Tether 作為逃避西方制裁的管道，協助採購無人機和其他軍事裝備的武器零件。

While Tether declined to explicitly link its announcement to these reports, a company spokesperson emphasized that the enhanced monitoring system is a testament to its unwavering commitment to deterring illicit activity. "Every transaction involving Tether is meticulously recorded and traceable on the blockchain," the spokesperson affirmed. "This transparency empowers authorities to seize illicit assets and bring perpetrators to justice."

儘管 Tether 拒絕明確將其公告與這些報告聯繫起來，但該公司發言人強調，增強的監控系統證明了其堅定不移地致力於阻止非法活動。 「涉及 Tether 的每一筆交易都在區塊鏈上被仔細記錄和追踪，」發言人確認。 “這種透明度使當局能夠扣押非法資產並將肇事者繩之以法。”

Tether's prominence has surged in recent years, with its circulating supply surpassing $100 billion in March. This growth has been primarily attributed to its widespread adoption as a dollar substitute in emerging markets, where volatile local currencies pose challenges for businesses and individuals.

近年來，Tether 的知名度不斷提升，3 月的流通量超過 1,000 億美元。這一增長主要歸因於其在新興市場中作為美元替代品的廣泛採用，在這些市場中，當地貨幣的波動給企業和個人帶來了挑戰。

Stablecoins like Tether offer a stable value pegged to established fiat currencies, making them an attractive option for cross-border payments, remittances, and trading on crypto exchanges. However, their anonymity and ease of transfer have also raised concerns regarding potential misuse for illicit purposes.

Tether 等穩定幣提供與既定法定貨幣掛鉤的穩定價值，使其成為跨境支付、匯款和加密貨幣交易所交易的有吸引力的選擇。然而，它們的匿名性和易於轉移也引起了人們對可能被濫用於非法目的的擔憂。

Tether, registered in Hong Kong and owned by a British Virgin Islands-based entity, possesses the capability to freeze its tokens. The company has previously exercised this authority in response to law enforcement requests, demonstrating its willingness to cooperate with authorities in combating financial crime.

Tether 在香港註冊，由位於英屬維京群島的實體擁有，擁有凍結其代幣的能力。該公司先前曾根據執法要求行使此權力，顯示其願意與當局合作打擊金融犯罪。

Tether's latest initiative underscores the industry's growing recognition of the importance of preventing illicit activities within the crypto ecosystem. As digital currencies continue to gain traction, regulatory oversight and self-policing measures will play an increasingly vital role in ensuring the integrity and legitimacy of the cryptoverse.

Tether 的最新舉措凸顯了業界日益認識到防止加密生態系統內非法活動的重要性。隨著數位貨幣不斷受到關注，監管監督和自我監管措施將在確保加密世界的完整性和合法性方面發揮越來越重要的作用。
