Tether has made a new move to fight stablecoin misuse. On 8 July 2025, the company announced its strategic investment in Crystal Intelligence, a blockchain analytics firm. The goal is to improve the fight against fraud, scams, and illegal activity in the digital asset space.
The two companies have worked together before. They launched Scam Alert, a system that flags crypto wallet addresses for suspicious use. They’re now building on that partnership with this investment. Tether aims to help law enforcement do a better job using better data and technology.
Tether remains one of the biggest players in the crypto sphere. It has made concerted attempts to track illegal transactions. In its decade of life, Tether has worked with hundreds of police agencies in more than 50 countries. It has been involved in freezing more than $2.7 billion in funds corresponding to criminal activity.
Tether supports police with new tools
These steps point to how crucial private companies have become as partners in combating crypto crime. It is a question of timing as well. In 2024, the calculation by the FBI was that crypto scams had cost the American people over $9.3 billion. It was a sharper increase than earlier.
Such crimes become harder to attempt with the involvement of tether. Clever tracking units are what the company offers to guarantee a quick response by its personnel in pursuing suspicious activity. Money flow tracking between blockchains by a firm called Crystal Intelligence is one of these. These are used by police and authorities.
Real-time alerts and summary reports enable faster response and better information for investigators. This, in our view, is an important component of making a safer world for everyone. This funding is also fiscally responsible as part of a longer-term effort by Tether.
Tether acts early to raise safety standards
The company goes on to implement safer systems to maintain records of its holdings of tokens and real-asset holdings. It tries to maintain all its issued holdings proportionally to rules and public sentiment. It’s a definable course of action for the company. Tether is not waiting for new legislation.
It is taking action today to secure and make crypto more reliable. It is reacting to surges in users by expanding its enforcement coverage globally and hardening its systems against scams.
As a part of their new partnership, these two companies would like to stay one step ahead of malicious players. These companies would like crypto to stay secure and trusted by all and trust to stay a foundation of digital economies.
