August 12, 2025 – Binance has officially become the first member of T3+, a global collaboration launched by Tether, TRON, and TRM Labs to combat illicit blockchain activities.

T3+ – Taking a Strong Stand Against Blockchain Crime

T3+ is an initiative of the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU) – a joint effort by TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs – created to foster public-private partnerships in combating illicit blockchain use.

In less than one year (since September 2024), T3 FCU has:

  • Frozen over $250 million in illicit assets.

  • Partnered with law enforcement across five continents.

  • Analyzed millions of transactions totaling over $3 billion.

Binance Starts Strong with a Quick Win

Right after joining, Binance contributed to T3+’s first major case:


Freezing nearly $6 million linked to a pig butchering scam – a clear demonstration of the power of collaboration to protect users and the crypto ecosystem.

“Binance is committed to building a mature crypto ecosystem where innovation, compliance, and security coexist. Joining T3+ reflects our proactive approach in working with industry partners and law enforcement to combat illicit activities in real time.”
