[WEEKLYBLOCKCHAIN] Tron, Tether, TRM Labs Freeze $250M in Illicit Crypto, Bring Binance on BoardThe T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), a joint initiative by Tron, Tether, and blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs, has frozen over $250 million in illicit digital assets in under a year since its launch. The milestone comes alongside the introduction of the T3+ program, with Binance joining as its first partner. Launched in September 2024, T3 FCU works with global law enforcement to disrupt illicit blockchain transactions, targeting cases of money laundering, fraud, blackmail, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. The $250 million figure more than doubles the $100 million seized in the first six months of operation. The T3+ expansion will integrate exchanges, financial institutions, and industry players into a real-time intelligence network to improve rapid threat detection and response. Tron founder Justin Sun said the initiative aims to “expand the scope of collaboration across the blockchain industry to better address illicit activity in real time.” Crypto Hacks Are Getting Faster — and Harder to Stop According to blockchain analytics firm Global Ledger, over $3 billion in crypto was stolen in H1 2025. Some attacks saw laundering completed in under three minutes, while 30% of stolen funds were cleaned within 24 hours. The average time to move stolen funds was 15 hours, and in nearly a quarter of cases, the laundering was complete before the breach was publicly disclosed. As a result, only 4.2% of stolen funds were recovered in the first half of the year. About 15% of illicit crypto passed through centralized exchanges, where compliance teams typically have a 10–15 minute window to intercept suspicious transfers. Debate Over Stablecoin Freeze Powers While Tether’s and Binance’s ability to freeze funds could improve recovery rates, critics argue it undermines user sovereignty. Last month, Tether froze $86,000 in stolen USDt, sparking debate over centralized control versus security needs. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized the importance of collective action, saying, “Bad actors have nowhere to hide on the blockchain… only through collaboration can we build a safer, more trusted environment for users worldwide.” #T3FCU #Binance #DigitalAssets 트론·테더·TRM랩스 금융범죄단위, 바이낸스 합류로 2억5천만 달러 불법 자산 동결 확대 트론(Tron), 테더(Tether), 그리고 블록체인 분석기업 TRM랩스(TRM Labs)가 공동 설립한 ‘T3 금융범죄단위(T3 Financial Crime Unit, T3 FCU)’가 출범 1년이 채 되지 않아 2억 5천만 달러 이상의 불법 암호화폐 자산을 동결했다고 발표했다. 이번에는 세계 최대 암호화폐 거래소 바이낸스(Binance)를 첫 번째 T3+ 파트너로 영입하며 활동 범위를 확장한다.

🚨 Tether, Tron and TRM Labs join forces to fight cryptocurrency crime, freezing over $100 million in illegal assets worldwide The three giants of the crypto industry, Tether (stablecoin giant), Tron (blockchain pioneer) and TRM Labs (blockchain intelligence expert), jointly established the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU). The unit has achieved amazing results in just a few months, freezing over $100 million in criminal funds worldwide! The team was launched in August 2024 and quickly became a leader in blockchain security, working with global law enforcement agencies to combat crimes such as money laundering, investment fraud, extortion and terrorist financing. According to reports, T3 FCU used high-tech technology to monitor millions of transactions across five continents around the world, involving a total of more than $3 billion in USDT (Tether's stablecoin). Tron founder Justin Sun recognized the measures taken by T3 FCU and pointed out that for criminals who are considering conducting illegal activities on the Tron blockchain, there are now 100 million reasons to think twice before using it. T3 FCU's swift action sends a clear warning that if you use USDT on Tron to commit crimes, you will have nowhere to hide! Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, reiterated their determination to maintain the integrity of the financial ecosystem. He said that Tether works with global law enforcement agencies to ensure that criminals do not use stablecoins such as USDT for criminal activities. Chris Janczewski, global head of investigations at TRM Labs, also joined the discussion. He believes that the success of T3 FCU is a model of public-private cooperation. He said that T3 FCU's cooperation with global law enforcement agencies has effectively prevented cybercriminals from using USDT on Tron, and this is just the beginning. In summary, with the continuous increase in legitimate users in the crypto field, it has become crucial to ensure the security of assets. The actions of T3 FCU not only demonstrate the great potential of public-private cooperation in improving the security and responsibility of digital assets, but also through close collaboration with global law enforcement agencies, it will redefine the transparency and operational integrity standards of cryptocurrency transactions. Finally, let us look forward to T3 FCU's positive actions in the future to effectively protect the security of our cryptocurrencies! #加密货币安全 #T3FCU #打击犯罪 #Tether
