Tron, Tether and Chainalysis launch task force to fight AI crypto scams

Tron, Tether and blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis have launched a new crime-fighting partnership to track stolen cryptocurrency and help authorities freeze illicit funds as criminals increasingly use artificial intelligence in scams. Tron, Tether and Chainalysis launched a joint task force targeting illicit USDT activity on Tron. The initiative plans to track suspicious wallets and coordinate faster asset freezes with law enforcement. The partnership follows the closure of T3, which previously involved Tron, Tether and TRM Labs. Chainalysis estimated AI-enabled scams generated 4.5 times more revenue per operation during 2025 than alternatives.
