Tron, Tether and Chainalysis have created a joint unit, the Digital Crime Task Force, to track illicit USDT flows on the Tron blockchain and speed up cooperation with law enforcement. According to Chainalysis, AI-assisted scams were 4.5 times more profitable than traditional schemes in 2025, while identity impersonation scams surged by more than 1,400% in one year. Tether says it has frozen more than $7 billion in illicit assets with the help of hundreds of law enforcement agencies across 73 countries. The unit replaces the T3 Financial Crime Unit, which was disbanded following slow response times and poor coordination among its members. It is operating amid a broader cybersecurity wave, as North Korean actors launder part of the $3.1 billion stolen from Binance and the Bank of Russia opens USDT to retail investors.
