Binance has announced its membership in T3+, a global collaboration program designed to combat illicit activities on the blockchain. The initiative—launched by Tether, TRON, and TRM Labs—aims to unite industry leaders and law enforcement agencies in creating a safer and more transparent crypto ecosystem.
Binance’s collaboration in T3+ signifies a pivotal move towards enhancing security in the crypto sector, ensuring a trustworthy environment.
As the first member of T3+, Binance has already contributed to early successes, including the freezing of nearly $6 million linked to a large-scale pig butchering scam. This milestone underscores the power of cross-industry cooperation in safeguarding users and protecting the integrity of the blockchain space.
A Coordinated Industry Effort
T3+ operates under the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), a joint initiative launched in September 2024 to facilitate public-private partnerships against blockchain-based crime. Since its inception, T3 FCU has:
-
Frozen over $250 million in illicit assets worldwide
-
Collaborated with law enforcement across five continents
-
Disrupted criminal networks in real time
In less than a year, T3 FCU has analyzed millions of blockchain transactions worth over $3 billion, enabling rapid cross-border identification and takedown of illicit operations.
Binance’s Expanding Role in Blockchain Security
Nils Andersen-Röed, Binance’s Global Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit, stressed the importance of collective action:
“Collaboration is essential to ensuring blockchain’s long-term success and credibility.”
Between December 2022 and May 2025, Binance has:
-
Protected 7.5 million users from nearly $10 billion in potential fraud
-
Leveraged freeze-and-recovery operations to stop scams in progress
-
Enhanced real-time threat detection systems to identify malicious activity earlier
Industry Leaders Voice Support
T3+ has the backing of key crypto figures including Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, and Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, both of whom emphasize the need for unified action to protect blockchain innovation.
Looking Ahead
T3+ will expand partnerships, improve monitoring capabilities, and speed up communication between stakeholders to strengthen the fight against illicit blockchain activity. Binance remains committed to working with regulators, industry peers, and law enforcement to ensure that blockchain technology can thrive in an environment rooted in trust, security, and transparency.
