Blumenthal Subpoenas Tether, Nxum Records Over Bo Hines Payments

This marks a formal escalation from public scrutiny to document-level inquiry, pulling a major stablecoin issuer into a congressional probe that explicitly targets its lobbying footprint and wallet-level financial trails. The demand for wallet addresses and lobbying communications signals that the focus is not just the payments themselves but the relationship between stablecoin policy advocacy and private-sector influence. The November deadline is the near-term checkpoint; whether Tether and Nxum comply fully, partially, or push back will shape how much of this enters the public record.
