The T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), a collaboration between TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs, has introduced T3+, an initiative aimed at enhancing public-private partnerships to combat illicit activities on the blockchain.

Key Developments with T3+

Binance has become the first official member of the programme. Since its inception, T3 FCU has seized over USD 250 million in illegal assets globally. This includes approximately USD 6 million frozen through a coordinated effort between T3+ and Binance to address a fraudulent scheme.

Since September 2024, T3 FCU has partnered with law enforcement agencies worldwide to uncover and dismantle criminal networks. The unit has scrutinized transactions spanning five continents, tracking more than USD 3 billion in total volume. With this analysis, T3 FCU can intervene in real-time to disrupt criminal activities, making it a critical resource for global law enforcement.

The work of T3 FCU extends to various types of financial crimes, including money laundering, investment fraud, extortion, and terrorism financing. The organization has collaborated closely with law enforcement entities in their efforts to combat these issues.

Collaborative Initiatives with T3+

T3+ intends to strengthen relationships with exchanges, financial institutions, and other key stakeholders. The aim is to improve monitoring capabilities, streamline communication and collaboration, and enhance the overall effectiveness of addressing illicit activities in the blockchain industry.

Representatives from Tether emphasize that T3+ will facilitate broader cooperation within the ecosystem, contributing to a safer and more trustworthy environment for all users. Binance has committed to supporting initiatives such as T3 FCU to safeguard the integrity of blockchain networks and crypto assets. The company’s participation in T3+ underscores its dedication to robust compliance standards and mitigating illicit financial risks.

T3 FCU aims to develop the necessary infrastructure for efficient transaction monitoring, timely interventions, and alignment with global anti-financial crime initiatives through this programme. By doing so, it seeks to play a pivotal role in maintaining the security and trustworthiness of blockchain platforms.
