UK court rules Tether is property in first English law post-trial crypto ruling

The legal status of Tether (USDT) was a preliminary issue in a case brought by a fraud victim whose stolen crypto — including Tether — was offloaded through various crypto exchanges after being put through crypto mixers.

“USDT attract property rights under English law,” High Court of Justice Deputy Judge Richard Farnhill said in the Sept. 12 ruling.
