Geneva, Switzerland, September 11, 2025 – TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), proudly participated as a 3 Block Sponsor of CoinDesk: Policy & Regulation conference, held on September 10 at Convene Hamilton Square in Washington D.C. Formerly known as “State of Crypto,” this one-day, boutique event hosted by CoinDesk was designed to bring general counsels, compliance officers and regulatory executives together with the public officials responsible for crypto legislation and regulatory oversight.
Throughout the day, key policymakers, regulators and government officials met with influential leaders in asset management and financial services across both cryptocurrency and traditional finance sectors. TRON’s participation was highlighted through a panel focused on the T3 Financial Crimes Unit (T3 FCU) initiative. Moderated by Adrian Wall, Managing Director of the Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA), “The T3 Collaboration: Combating Illicit Finance and Establishing Anti-Financial Crime Frameworks” featured distinguished speakers including John O. Hurston, General Counsel, TRON DAO; David Feder, Partner, Fenwick & West LLP; Ari Redbord, Global Head of Policy, TRM Labs; and Erin Fracolli, Global Head of Special Investigations, Binance. Throughout the discussion, panelists addressed multiple aspects of the unit’s successful model for combating cryptocurrency-related financial crime, such as legal and regulatory considerations, operational insights, and critical steps to take in the fight against financial crimes.
Since launching less than a year ago, T3 FCU has frozen over $250 million USD in illicit assets globally. T3 FCU has worked closely with law enforcement agencies worldwide to identify and disrupt criminal networks. The unit has analyzed millions of transactions across five continents, monitoring over $3 billion USD in total volume. This comprehensive monitoring capability enables T3 FCU to work across borders, identifying and disrupting criminal operations in real-time, making it an invaluable resource for law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Following the panel, an afternoon networking break, one of two sponsored by TRON DAO, took place for attendees to connect and engage in meaningful dialogue on the future of digital asset regulation. Participation at CoinDesk’s Policy & Regulation 2025 event reaffirms TRON DAO’s commitment to ensuring that blockchain technology is leveraged responsibly, with the safeguards needed to promote transparency, security, and financial inclusion.
