Tether is partnering with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to help combat digital asset crime and improve cybersecurity standards in Africa.
The joint initiative comes as the continent faces increasing exposure to crypto-related crime.
Recent coordinated enforcement actions by international and regional authorities have uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit fiat and digital assets tied to fraud, cyber-enabled scams, and terrorism financing across multiple African countries.
These cases have highlighted how virtual assets are increasingly being misused in complex cross-border criminal networks, reinforcing calls for stronger cybersecurity measures, public education, and regulatory cooperation.
Through the partnership, Tether will contribute technical expertise and resources to strengthen cybersecurity awareness and improve legal and financial systems across African markets.
