Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis Establish Special Task Force for Digital Crimes

Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis have announced the establishment of a special task force named "Digital Crimes Task Force," aimed at identifying and combating illegal activities involving USDT on the Tron blockchain. The task force will collaborate with law enforcement agencies through intelligence gathering to shorten the interval between threat identification and law enforcement action, thereby accelerating the asset freezing process. Tron founder Justin Sun stated that millions rely on USDT on Tron for their livelihoods, and the ability to protect them must be enhanced simultaneously. The formation of the task force comes in response to the rising threats posed by AI-driven fraud and cyberattacks in the cryptocurrency industry. Chainalysis pointed out that by 2025, the profit efficiency of AI-enabled fraud will be 4.5 times that of traditional methods, with identity impersonation scams increasing by over 1400% year-on-year. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino remarked that criminals are using AI to accelerate their actions, and waiting for victims to report is no longer sufficient; Tether has collaborated with over 360 law enforcement agencies across 73 countries to freeze more than $7,000,000,000 related to illegal activities. The task force plans to cover threat types including investment and romance scams, hacking attacks, terrorist financing, and North Korea-related cyberattacks. This formation follows the dissolution of a previous alliance: in 2024, Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs had established the "T3 Financial Crimes Task Force," which was disbanded due to slow response and lack of coordination.
