Tron, Tether and Chainalysis Form Joint Task Force to Combat AI-Driven Crypto Crime
Tron, Tether, and blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis have announced the establishment of a joint initiative called the Digital Crime Task Force, which will focus on combating illegal activities involving USDT on the Tron network. The task force aims to integrate on-chain intelligence and law enforcement resources, cut the time between threat identification and law enforcement action, accelerate the freezing of assets tied to crimes, and prevent criminals from transferring funds. Key targets include investment fraud, pig butchering scams, hacking, terrorist financing, and North Korean cyberattacks. Chainalysis noted that AI-driven fraud in 2025 is 4.5 times more profitable than traditional fraud, with impersonation scams surging by over 1400% year-over-year. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that Tether has cumulatively frozen more than $7 billion in assets linked to illegal activities and collaborated with over 360 law enforcement agencies across 73 countries. The new initiative comes after the tripartite T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU) formed by the three parties with TRM Labs in 2024 was disbanded.

CNN: Jensen Huang is mired in espionage ties and corporate governance controversies, with Nvidia facing a potential $1 trillion market value wipeout if he is forced to step down.
According to CNN, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is embroiled in a corporate governance crisis amid allegations of extramarital affairs with a woman the U.S. intelligence community has identified as a Chinese spy, as well as with a subordinate. NVIDIA’s board of directors has hired leading Wall Street law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation, focusing on whether Huang concealed the relevant relationships from the board, whether there were conflicts of interest, and whether the company misled investors in its response to media reports. The report notes that a confidential memo released by U.S. intelligence in May this year identified Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based NVIDIA client Megaspeed, as a Chinese intelligence officer. Megaspeed is also under federal investigation for allegedly diverting advanced U.S. chips to China and violating export control regulations. Jensen Huang has admitted to the extramarital affairs, but NVIDIA stated there is currently no reason to believe national security or the company’s trade secrets have been compromised. Former U.S. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said that if the investigation finds Huang intentionally misled the board, he could face removal from his position. NVIDIA previously claimed that Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang were normal client communication, a statement that contradicted his subsequent admission of an extramarital affair. Additionally, shareholders have filed lawsuits accusing NVIDIA and Jensen Huang of misleading investors in their responses to related media reports. NVIDIA’s stock price once dropped as much as 9% in a single day earlier, the report added. Dan Ives, an analyst at Yorkville Ives & Co., estimates that if Jensen Huang is forced to step down, NVIDIA’s market value could lose $1 trillion.

Trump: I was too naive, and I'm the only U.S. president who does not take a salary.
Trump’s latest post claims that the Democratic Party is composed of the most corrupt and anti-American political leaders and politicians in U.S. and even world history. They are sparing no effort to evade large-scale corruption issues in blue states, while repeatedly leveling corruption accusations against the Trump administration. This is a malicious, repeated narrative designed to cover up large-scale, unprecedented embezzlement taking place in blue states across the U.S., including Minnesota, California, and others. The fake news media has refused to report this fact, even during my first term. Perhaps I was too naive: I didn’t even take my presidential salary, worth millions of dollars. I am the only president to do so. In any case, the Democrats are corrupt and evil, while I am their exact opposite. Republicans, fight hard, or you will lose your country.

The probability of no change in Nvidia’s CEO position has risen to 29%, surpassing two internal candidates to temporarily take the top spot.
According to Polymarket data, in the "Next NVIDIA CEO" prediction market, the probability of the "No change" option for Jensen Huang climbed from 19% earlier today to 29%, securing the top position. Ian Buck, NVIDIA’s vice president of high-performance computing, placed second with 25%, while CFO Colette Kress ranked third at 23.3%. Per the market’s rules, "No change" refers to NVIDIA failing to announce a formal successor by 23:59 ET on December 31, 2028; interim CEOs are not counted. Therefore, even if Jensen Huang steps down, the "No change" option will still prevail if NVIDIA only appoints an interim CEO within the specified deadline. The 29% rate is the implied probability of "no formal successor announced", not the likelihood of Jensen Huang staying in the short term.
