Like, is that going to become a legit thing? Yeah, I think it will. I mean, I don't, and just to, you know, back up, yeah, yes, tether has been used for those, I'm sure has been used for crimes. Sure.

So is, you know, United States dollars in briefcases, right? Of course, yeah. Uh, by a much larger margin. If we were to look at it, so that's that that historically is correct because Tether hasn't existed, but today, like the average criminal, cryptocurrency is being used for between 40 and 50 billion dollars of illicit transactions per year. Uh-huh.

That would be a magnitude less than US dollars. This week in Startups is brought to you by HubSpot for Startups. Smart founders aren't piecing together random tools.
