U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal asked Binance, Tether, World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight LLC to begin submitting records for a Senate investigation by November 30, 2026, according to a November 9 report from Jinse Finance citing Cointelegraph.
Blumenthal warned that the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations would consider other measures if the companies did not voluntarily provide records by January 4, 2027. The report cited his letter to Binance as saying the company had not yet supplied previously requested records.
Citing earlier reporting by TechFlow, the notice said the investigation concerned illicit uses of cryptocurrency and financial dealings between the Trump administration and crypto businesses. Those are the reported subjects of the inquiry, not findings of wrongdoing.
The notice describes a records request and possible further action; it does not report a completed investigation or an enforcement outcome.
