Travelers who enter the United States or move around the country with sums of money over $10,000, in local currency or other financial instruments, must declare it to the federal agency.

The authorities seek to deepen controls on crimes such as money laundering, with new controls, such as fines of $500,000 and up to 10 years in prison for those who do not comply with the new financial transparency regulations.

The measure has been announced by officials of the Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP), an entity that “requires that any traveler who exceeds the limit of 10,000 dollars make an official declaration. This can be done through several methods, including specific forms provided by customs authorities. One of them is the CBP Form 6059B.”

The regulation applies to “coins or bills from the United States or another country, traveler’s checks of any type; all negotiable instruments (personal, commercial, official bank, cashier’s, third-party checks, promissory notes and money orders) that are in the name of the bearer, endorsed without restrictions, in the name of a fictitious beneficiary, or otherwise, in such a way that the title is transferred at the time of delivery.”

It is also applicable to “incomplete instruments (personal, commercial, official bank, cashier’s, third-party checks, promissory notes and money orders) signed, but with the name of the beneficiary omitted; securities or shares in bearer form or otherwise, such that title is transferred to them at the time of delivery.”

The declaration to enter or leave the US with the aforementioned sum in cash or a larger combination of monetary instruments may be made using Form FinCEN 105, which the interested party must print and deliver to the Customs and Border Protection agent upon entering or leaving the US. Also, by completing and sending the FinCEN Form online at least three days in advance of the trip.

Howard Lutnick, chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, a US financial services company, spoke about the reserves of Tether’s USDT stablecoin, stating that the cryptocurrency is adequately backed by liquid assets.

During an interview with Bloomberg TV, Lutnick confirmed that Tether has enough capital to support the more than 95 billion USDT outstanding. When questioned about Tether’s real ability to back the issued USDTs, he said that “they do,” highlighting the proper management of its assets.

The CEO’s comments reflect data from Tether’s latest certification report, showing $86.4 billion in assets versus $83.2 billion in liabilities.

Since 2017, USDT’s endorsement has been a controversial issue. Tether has resolved several lawsuits and has committed to greater transparency in the management of assets that support the currency’s parity with the US dollar.

USDT, being the third-largest cryptocurrency in market capitalization and the stablecoin with the most outstanding assets, faces challenges beyond reserve management. A UN report singled out USDT as a means to commit financial crimes, including money laundering and scams in Southeast Asia.

The Tether team rejected these claims in a statement, defending the opportunities that stablecoins on public networks offer to fight crime.

Cantor Fitzgerald, being the custodian of the Treasury bonds in the USDT reserves, adds credibility to Lutnick’s statements about the finances of Tether, the largest-capitalized stablecoin issuer in the market.
