Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis have created the Digital Crime Task Force, a coalition tasked with detecting and disrupting illicit activity involving USDT on the Tron blockchain. The group aims to shorten the time between identifying criminal flows and blocking them by working directly with law enforcement and speeding up asset freezes. Chainalysis provides blockchain analytics, Tether can freeze tokens by blocking specific addresses, and Tron operates the network on which a large share of USDT transactions occur. According to Chainalysis, at least $154 billion flowed to illicit addresses in 2025, a 162% year-over-year increase, while the previously established financial crime unit had frozen more than $450 million across 23 jurisdictions.
