Laundering money through USDT on Tron just got harder
Tether and blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis launched a Digital Crime Task Force today to target scams, hacking, North Korean hackers, money laundering, and other illicit activity involving USDT on the Tron blockchain. The idea is to detect and freeze funds early—before victims even report the crime, and before the money is transferred.
The T3 Financial Crime Unit, which previously partnered with TRM Labs, had already disbanded by the end of August. They said it was slow to respond and lacked coordination, so this time they’re starting over with a new partner.
Tether says it has frozen more than $7 billion in illicit funds to date. According to Chainalysis, AI scam proceeds last year were 4.5 times those of ordinary scams, and impersonation scams rose by more than 1,400% 😅
This is good news for ordinary users, but a reminder: USDT can be frozen. Don’t treat it as money no one can touch.
