The story so far
Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, appeared in several news stories in October. On October 13, reports said cryptocurrency billionaires Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo had donated roughly $100 million to Nigel Farage's Reform U.K. party. Delo, a BitMEX co-founder, gave the equivalent of $48.7 million. Harborne, a major investor in Tether, matched that sum the following day.
On October 15, a Wall Street Journal report, cited by Unchained, said Bo Hines held a one-third stake in a consulting firm called Nxum. Hines was then executive director of the White House's President's Council of Advisers on Digital Assets. The firm received about $6.3 million under a deal tied to Tether. Hines kept his 33% ownership after stepping back from its management in early 2025.
On October 29, Binance said it was dealing with a security incident after users reported funds drained from its wallets. Onchain data showed very large transfers out of its hot wallets, and the scale remained unconfirmed.
