According to CoinMeta, as reported by The Block, Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis have established a digital crime working group aimed at identifying and combating illegal activities involving USDT on the Tron blockchain. The working group plans to gather intelligence and cooperate with law enforcement agencies to reduce the time between threat identification and law enforcement actions, expedite the freezing of assets, and prevent criminals from transferring funds. The scope of their efforts includes investment and romance scams, hacking attacks, terrorist financing, and cyberattacks from North Korea. The Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs-established T3 financial crime unit in 2024 has been disbanded. In a statement, it was noted that in 2025, the profitability of AI-assisted scams was 4.5 times that of traditional scams.
