Why these freezes matter
TRON accounted for 4 freezes and $160.2k, while Ethereum recorded 1 freeze involving $45.1k. The distribution shows that today’s issuer action was concentrated on TRON by both frequency and value.
The largest single freeze was $121.1k on TRON. This represented most of the value frozen on that network today, indicating that one action drove much of the daily total.
Below that headline number, the rest of the day was modest. The next largest action was $45.1k on Ethereum, followed by $39.1k on TRON. The two remaining TRON addresses were blacklisted while showing $0.00 frozen, so they add to the count of freezes without adding to the value immobilised.
The broader blacklist remains substantial. As of today, 10161 addresses are currently frozen, $3.53B is immobilised, and 11483 addresses have ever been blacklisted.
Those two totals are worth separating. The 10,161 addresses counted as currently frozen are the ones still blacklisted today, while the 11,483 figure covers every address ever blacklisted, including ones issuers have since released. Blacklisting is an issuer decision, and at assessment time it can be reversed by the same issuer that applied it.

A note on reading that list: each amount is the sum frozen on that individual address, and two of the TRON entries show $0.00. Linked addresses open straight into their TrustSniffer analysis. For an entry that is not linked, you can paste it into the free wallet checker to see the same verdict, sanctioned-exposure trace, and connected addresses.

How TrustSniffer tracks freezes
Every figure here comes from TrustSniffer's own on-chain monitoring: it listens directly to the USDT and USDC issuer contracts on Ethereum and TRON and records each blacklist and un-blacklist event as it happens. Bulk imports and non-issuer flags are excluded, so this report reflects real issuer freezes only. To check an address yourself, use the free wallet-risk checker; to screen a website, use the website checker.
- Stablecoin freeze
- An on-chain action in which a token issuer (such as Tether for USDT or Circle for USDC) blacklists a specific address, preventing the affected stablecoins from being moved from it. Issuers do this in response to sanctions, law-enforcement requests, or theft. A freeze can later be reversed by the issuer.
For anyone holding or receiving stablecoins, the practical scope is narrower than the headline suggests. The action lands on one specific address and the USDT or USDC sitting on it, rather than on the token or the network as a whole, and this report covers issuer activity on Ethereum and TRON only. If you are about to send funds to an unfamiliar address, or you have just been paid by one, the evidence suggests it is worth screening it first with the wallet risk tool. A site or shop promoting a payment address can be screened with the website checker.
