Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis have introduced the Digital Crime Task Force to tackle illegal cryptocurrency activities involving Tether’s USDT on the Tron blockchain. The organization states it will collect intelligence and collaborate with law enforcement to reduce the interval between identifying threats and implementing enforcement measures, such as freezing assets before offenders can transfer money. This move comes after the breakup of the T3 Financial Crime Unit, a coalition established in 2024 by Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs. Bloomberg revealed earlier this month that the unit was disbanded due to delayed responses and poor coordination. According to Chainalysis, scams powered by artificial intelligence generated 4.5 times more profit in 2025 compared to traditional methods, with impersonation frauds increasing over 1,400% year over year. The task force intends to concentrate on romance and investment fraud, hacking incidents, financing for terrorism, and cyberattacks from North Korea. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino noted that AI allows criminals to act faster than before, stating that simply waiting for victims to report crimes is no longer sufficient. He mentioned that Tether has frozen over $7 billion associated with illegal activities, collaborating with more than 360 law enforcement groups in 73 countries. https://thesansasyonel.com/en/tron-tether-and-chainalysis-form-new-alliance-to-tackle-ai-powered-crypto-crime-33517
