Just came across an article from The Block: Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis issued a statement to the media announcing the formation of the “Digital Crime Task Force,” dedicated to identifying and combating illicit activity involving $USDT on the Tron blockchain. The goal is to further shorten the time from detecting suspicious activity to assisting law enforcement in freezing assets.
In the statement, Chainalysis noted that in 2025, AI-powered scams were 4.5 times more profitable than traditional methods, while impersonation scams increased by more than 1,400% year over year. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said criminals are moving faster with AI, so waiting for victims to report crimes is no longer enough. Tether has worked with more than 360 law enforcement agencies in 73 countries and has frozen over $7 billion in funds linked to illicit activity. The task force plans to cover investment and romance scams, hacking, terrorist financing, and cyberattacks linked to North Korea, among other areas. This is a new collaboration with Chainalysis, following the earlier T3 Financial Crime Unit.
