Sen. Richard Blumenthal is investigating Tether’s financial relationship with Cantor Fitzgerald, seeking information about a connection that includes management of the stablecoin issuer’s U.S. reserve assets.

Blumenthal sent a request to Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Brandon Lutnick for details about the relationship between the two companies. The inquiry also covers other business interests involving the firms.

Cantor Fitzgerald holds and manages Tether’s reserve assets in the United States.

Lutnick took over leadership of Cantor Fitzgerald after his father, Howard Lutnick, became U.S. commerce secretary under President Donald Trump.
