Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis Establish Digital Crime Task Force

TechFlow, November 12 — According to The Block, Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis have established a digital crime task force aimed at identifying and combating illicit activity involving USDT on the Tron network.

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

Prior to the establishment of this new organization, the T3 Financial Crime Unit, formed in 2024 by Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs, had been disbanded. In a statement, Chainalysis noted that the profitability of AI-assisted scams in 2025 is 4.5 times that of traditional scams.
