TRON, Tether and Chainalysis announced the Digital Crime Task Force on Nov. 12, 2026, to address illicit cryptocurrency activity, focusing on USDT transactions on the TRON blockchain. The group aims to detect suspicious transactions faster and coordinate with law enforcement to freeze assets before they are moved; the announcement does not report results from the new task force.
Chainalysis replaced TRM Labs after the earlier T3 Financial Crime Unit dissolved. Chainalysis reported that AI-driven scams were 4.5 times more profitable than traditional schemes in 2025 and that impersonation cases rose by more than 1,400% year over year.
