TRON originated with the belief that technology can be used for good and to empower people across the globe. By collaborating with TRM Labs and Tether, TRON is helping to ensure that blockchain technology is used to make our world a better place, and sends a clear message that illicit activity is not welcome in our industry. Our goal is to create a safer, more secure crypto community, setting a new standard for the industry."
Justin Sun
Founder of TRON
The T3 group is an example of three parties—a blockchain analytics firm, the blockchain developer itself, and the stablecoin issuer, —putting together their forces to create a consortium that will focus on blockchain safety and reduce the latency between the moment we receive the first part of the information to when we can execute the action. Good luck finding something like this in the traditional international financial system."
Paolo Ardoino
CEO of Tether
T3FCU is proof that public-private collaboration is not just important — it’s essential. No single agency or company can combat financial crime alone. Real progress happens when investigators, platforms, and analytics teams are working from the same map in real time. We are honored to support the T3 partners and law enforcement worldwide as we continue building a model for shared action that can be scaled globally.”

Co-founder and CEO of TRM Labs
