Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis Establish Digital Crime Task Force

on November 12, according to The Block, Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis have launched a Digital Crime Task Force aimed at identifying and combating illegal activities involving USDT on the Tron blockchain.

The task force plans to gather intelligence and collaborate with law enforcement agencies to reduce the time lag between threat detection and enforcement actions, accelerate asset freezes, and prevent criminals from moving funds. Its focus areas include investment and romance scams, hacking incidents, terrorist financing, and North Korean cyberattacks.

Prior to the establishment of this new organization, the T3 Financial Crime Department, launched in 2024 by Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs, was disbanded. In a statement, Chainalysis noted that AI-assisted scams are 4.5 times more profitable in 2025 than traditional scams.
