The T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), a collaboration between TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs, has frozen over $250 million in illicit crypto assets globally within a year of its launch in September 2024. The unit has monitored more than $3 billion in suspicious transaction volume across five continents and collaborated closely with law enforcement to disrupt money laundering, scams, blackmail, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes.
To amplify its impact, T3 FCU has launched T3+, a global collaborator program bringing together industry leaders to enhance real-time intelligence sharing and cross-border enforcement. Binance is the first exchange to join T3+, already assisting in the seizure of nearly $6 million tied to a "pig butchering" scam.
The move comes amid a surge in crypto crime — with over $3 billion stolen in H1 2025, and minimal recovery (less than 5%). Hackers can launder funds within minutes, giving compliance teams in centralized exchanges mere 10–15 minutes to act. Through T3+, the community hopes to shrink that window and build a safer, more trustworthy blockchain ecosystem.
