T3 FCU freezes over $450M in illicit USDT linked to crime since 2024 launch

The T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), supported by Tether, TRON, and TRM Labs, has frozen more than $450 million in USDT tied to criminal activities since its 2024 launch. In 2025 alone, it intercepted 43.9% more illicit funds across 23 countries, targeting crimes like drug trafficking, exchange hacks, and terrorist financing. The unit's rapid asset freezes, sometimes within 24 hours, have made it a crucial tool for global law enforcement amid record $158 billion illicit crypto flows in 2025. This milestone highlights growing enforcement efforts on stablecoin misuse and sparks debate on centralized control in decentralized networks.
