The fight against illicit blockchain activity just got a powerful new ally. Binance has officially become the first member of T3+, a high-level global security initiative launched by Tether, TRON, and TRM Labs. Designed to tackle crypto-related crime head-on, T3+ brings together industry leaders, law enforcement, and cutting-edge analytics to safeguard the digital economy through real-time cooperation and public-private partnerships.
Making an Immediate Impact
Binance’s entry into T3+ is already making waves. In its first action under the program, the exchange froze $6 million linked to a pig-butchering scam, preventing losses before they could reach unsuspecting victims. This swift move reflects the power of cross-industry intelligence sharing, where suspicious activity can be traced, blocked, and reported within hours rather than weeks.
T3+ & T3 FCU: A Global Security Network in Action
Since its launch in September 2024, T3+ and its Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU) have frozen over $250 million in illicit assets, worked alongside law enforcement on five continents, and analyzed millions of transactions worth $3+ billion to dismantle cross-border fraud schemes. The initiative strengthens monitoring systems, data sharing, and collective defense, creating a united front against crypto criminals. Industry leaders such as Paolo Ardoino and Justin Sun stress that unified action is the only way to achieve a secure and transparent blockchain ecosystem.
Binance’s Ongoing Security Mission
This isn’t Binance’s first major step in safeguarding the industry. Between 2022 and 2025, the exchange protected over 7.5 million users from nearly $10 billion in potential fraud, enhanced AI-driven monitoring, and expanded real-time threat detection capabilities. As Nils Andersen-Röed, Binance’s Global Head of Financial Intelligence, puts it:
> “Trust, innovation, and regulation must evolve together to ensure blockchain’s long-term credibility.”
By joining T3+, Binance reaffirms its commitment to user safety, ecosystem integrity, and global crypto security standards — sending a strong message to bad actors: in this new era of blockchain security, you will be caught.
