A joint initiative between Tron, Tether, and blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs has frozen more than $250 million in illicit cryptocurrency less than a year after launch, the group announced Tuesday.

Binance Joins as First Member of New “T3+” Alliance The milestone comes with the roll out of “T3+,” an expanded public-private collaboration program that includes exchanges, financial institutions, and other industry stakeholders to share intelligence and respond to threats in real time. Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has joined as the program’s first member, already helping freeze nearly $6 million tied to a “pig butchering” scam in their first coordinated operation.
