Tether Backs Crystal Intelligence in Blockchain Crime Crackdown

Together, the two companies have already launched Scam Alert (scam-alert.io), a website that shows scam-related wallet addresses in real-time to warn the public and law enforcement.

Tether, the biggest company in the digital asset world, has made a strategic investment in Crystal Intelligence, a firm that helps track and prevent crypto crimes. This move is part of Tether’s goal to stop criminals from misusing stablecoins like USDT, Tether’s digital dollar.

During 2024, the FBI stated that cryptocurrency scams within the U.S. resulted in $9.3 billion worth of loss, a drop from the previous year. In reaction, Tether has been assisting law enforcement organizations to trace these crimes. Until now, they have cooperated with more than 255 countries across 55 nations, including the FBI and Secret Service, and have frozen over $2.7 billion USD₮ tied to illicit activity.

By investing in Crystal Intelligence, Tether is helping improve the tools that police and investigators use to stop crypto crimes. Together, the two companies have already launched Scam Alert (scam-alert.io), a website that shows scam-related wallet addresses in real-time to warn the public and law enforcement.

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, said the company is committed to helping law enforcement stop bad actors and keep digital money safe for everyone. He added that this investment will improve their ability to track funds in real-time. He also sent a strong message that criminals, “USD₮ is the digital dollar for the people, bad actors will be stopped.”

Crystal Intelligence CEO Navin Gupta said that Tether’s support shows trust in their work. He believes crypto companies need to act early to prevent crime, not just wait for rules or mandates.

This investment is just one part of Tether’s larger plan to stay compliant with global rules and improve transparency. They’ve recently added high-level monitoring tools to make sure all assets they offer follow the rules and can be tracked properly.
