Stablecoins: A Double-Edged Sword
Stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and DAI play a significant role in both crypto fraud and recovery. Their stability makes them attractive to scammers, but their centralized nature also makes recovery more feasible.
Why Scammers Use Stablecoins
Stablecoins avoid the volatility risk of other cryptocurrencies, making them ideal for scammers who want to maintain the value of their illicit gains. Tether (USDT) and USDC are particularly common in fraud schemes.
Recovery Advantages
Because stablecoin issuers can freeze and reverse transactions, recovery is often more successful when funds are in USDT or USDC. FundSheild has established protocols for working with stablecoin issuers to freeze and recover stolen funds.
