Tron, Tether and Chainlysis form an alliance to fight crypto-crime.
The companies have launched a joint initiative called the Digital Crime Task Force, which will detect illegal USDT transactions on the Tron network and accelerate the blocking of malicious funds.
A new alliance replaces the T3 Financial Crimes Unit, created by Tron, Tether and TRM Labs in 2024. The previous alliance was disbanded due to slow response to threats and coordination problems.
According to Chain, in 2025, fraud schemes using artificial intelligence brought attackers 4.5 times more revenue than traditional ones. At the same time, the number of impersonation scams increased by more than 1,400% during the year.
Tether says it has already frozen more than $7 billion related to illegal activities, working with 360 law enforcement agencies from 73 countries.
