Regarding the trends of Telegram token robots: TRC20 USDT involves gambling, money laundering, currency theft, fraud, etc.
Bitrace recently unveiled a worrying trend within the Telegram token trading bot ecosystem, primarily involving the TRC20 USDT cryptocurrency.
This trend includes a large number of addresses associated with gambling, money laundering, stolen coins, and fraudulent activity that can taint the addresses of innocent users and expose them to financial threats.
Bitrace research reveals concerns about Telegram token trading
A recent study by Bitrace Research revealed an alarming number of gambler addresses, money laundering addresses, stolen coin addresses, and fraudulent addresses in online anonymous markets, raising concerns about potential financial risks for users.
According to Bitrace research, Telegram’s scalability has led to the proliferation of smart bots for currency exchange. These bots enable automated fund transfers, often involving TRX/USDT pairs, allowing users to control exchange address permissions or act as a proxy. In either case, funds on the exchange are tied to the business address of the bot service provider.
An example of these risks can be seen in the TRON address TJS…3333333333. Bitrace’s open-source cyber intelligence identified it as the payment address of an anonymous technical services team that specializes in customizing TRON accounts and Telegram bots.
The address has received funds from 93 counterparties, with a large portion coming from risky activities such as gambling and money laundering. Subsequent transfers of these funds to exchange addresses further increases risk.

Bitrace’s research also revealed other areas of concern in the cryptocurrency space. Online gambling platforms generally use "good accounts" customized through third-party tools as business addresses to handle betting, fund transfers and settlements. Unfortunately, many of these accounts accumulated risky funds, polluting the service provider's addresses with gambling-related funds.
Additionally, a fraud scheme known as "zero-transfer phishing" is on the rise, in which scammers initiate multiple small transfers to unspecified addresses, misleading users into copying payment addresses from previous transactions.
More sophisticated variations include creating addresses with specific tail numbers, posing a risk to service providers if phishing funds end up in their payment addresses.
Bitrace’s research highlights the financial risks of cryptocurrency trading in anonymous online markets, particularly those involving Telegram token trading bots using TRC20 USDT. As the appeal of anonymity continues, users must exercise caution when conducting these transactions to reduce the risk of address contamination and financial loss. #加密安全 #Bitrace
