The prominence of Tron and cross-chain bridges in this laundering pipeline shifts scrutiny onto infrastructure that is often judged on speed and cost rather than compliance. The FBI's pressure on THORChain signals that bridge operators, not just exchanges, are becoming the enforcement front line. Whether other bridges named here face similar attention, and how Tron's role is treated by regulators, is the open question.
