A court in Anhui, China, has ruled that transactions involving Tether (USDT) violate public order and are not protected by law. The case centered on a dispute where Ding purchased 1,300 Tether tokens from Wu for 9,672 RMB. Ding later sought a refund, claiming Wu's profit was unjust. The court dismissed the claim, declaring the Tether trade invalid and stating that any losses incurred should be borne by the involved parties.
