US lawmakers have introduced a bill that would ban government officials from doing business with Chinese cryptocurrency companies and using Chinese Blockchain networks that support cryptocurrency trading platforms. This bill will also affect companies involved in BSN projects and the ongoing development of the Digital Yuan project, such as The Spartan Network, The Conflux Network, and Red Date Technology.

US lawmakers stated that the purpose of this latest bill is to prevent the country’s foreign adversaries from having a backdoor to critical national security intelligence and Americans’ private information.

According to the documents shared by the New York Attorney General, Tether’s reserves mainly consisted of short-term loans given to Chinese companies and a substantial loan to the crypto platform Celsius Network. Although Tether claimed to have no securities relationship with the financially troubled Chinese Evergrande Group, it did not provide any information regarding its holdings of other Chinese securities.
In a report published in September, it was alleged that Tether secretly started providing loans in USDT to its customers a year after pledging to stop providing secured loans.
