The T3 Financial Crime Unit, backed by Tether, TRON DAO and TRM Labs, said it has blocked more than $450 million in illicit USDT since launching in 2024. Earlier updates described the total more broadly as more than $450 million in illicit crypto assets by May 2026, while a separate report framed the enforcement activity as more than 70 billion yen in illicit assets frozen since September 2024. T3 also said intercepted illegal funds in 2025 rose 43.9% year over year across 23 jurisdictions and cited Brazil’s Operation Lusocoin, where it said the effort helped freeze more than 3 billion Brazilian reais, including 4.3 million USDT.
