US Senate Report: Over $34.6 Million in USDT Flowed Out of Iran-Linked Wallets
Democratic staff of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) of the US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee published a report on September 28 examining Iran-linked funding networks. According to the report, of 39 wallets that Israel's National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) designated for seizure in June 2023 as being tied to a figure involved in Hezbollah money laundering, Tether, the issuer of USDT, failed to freeze 34 of them until March 2024, and more than $34.6 million in crypto assets flowed out during that period. The investigation analyzed 846 wallets that US and Israeli authorities had identified as linked to the Iranian government or its proxy forces, and found that 84 percent of them transacted solely or almost solely in USDT. The report noted that relying only on freezes after designation cannot adequately prevent the outflow of funds, and called on stablecoin issuers to continuously monitor high-risk transactions by counterparties and their customers.

Coinbase and Citi Expand Stablecoin Payments Partnership
Citi announced an expanded collaboration with Coinbase to power Coinbase Virtual Accounts and enable institutional stablecoin payment acceptance via Spring by Citi, initially in the United States. The collaboration links Coinbase's digital asset infrastructure with Citi's regulated banking network and creates an industry-first automatic fiat-to-stablecoin conversion feature. Coinbase Global also reported that Chief Accounting Officer Jennifer Jones plans to retire after a successor is appointed. The company's narrative projects $8.5 billion revenue and $2.1 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 8.3% yearly revenue growth and a $0.8 billion earnings decrease from $2.9 billion today, with a $383.46 fair value implying 110% upside to its current price. Some of the most optimistic analysts already expected Coinbase to reach about US$9.3 billion of revenue and US$2.2 billion of earnings.

SoFi Migrates US$25 Billion Card Portfolio to Bank-Issued Stablecoin SoFiUSD
SoFi Technologies and Mastercard announced that stablecoin settlement went live across SoFi Bank, N.A.'s debit and credit card program, migrating its entire US$25.00 billion card portfolio to SoFiUSD. SoFiUSD is the first stablecoin issued by a nationally chartered bank on Mastercard's global network, positioning bank-issued stablecoins as an operational bridge between traditional payment rails and blockchain infrastructure. The move connects to SoFi's April 2026 launch of Big Business Banking, which lets enterprises manage fiat and crypto, mint and burn SoFiUSD, and access real time payments in a single bank interface. SoFi's narrative projects $7.7 billion revenue and $1.6 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 21.6% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about $1.0 billion from $636.3 million today, while the most pessimistic analysts saw SoFi reaching only about US$6.0 billion revenue and US$1.0 billion earnings by 2029.
