Each analysis page shows the verdict, exposure trace and connected wallets, so you can see what the evidence suggests about an address beyond its frozen balance.
The running picture
As of August 5, 2026, TrustSniffer's freeze index counts 10,171 addresses currently frozen by stablecoin issuers across Ethereum and TRON, holding roughly $3.53B in immobilised funds, out of 11,495 addresses ever blacklisted. Browse the full picture in the live Risk Index and the sanctions directory.
Against that running total, the 3 freezes recorded on August 5, 2026 are a small share. Issuers freeze addresses in response to sanctions, law-enforcement requests or theft, and a freeze can later be reversed by the issuer. That is why the index keeps addresses currently frozen separate from every address ever blacklisted.
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.
Frequently asked questions

How current is this data?
Freezes are a lagging signal: by the time an issuer blacklists an address, the funds are often already flagged as high-risk. TrustSniffer's monitoring frequently identifies an address as a freeze candidate before the issuer acts, which is why screening a counterparty in advance, rather than after a freeze, is the safer habit.
- Before you send USDT or USDC to someone new, paste their Ethereum or TRON address into the free wallet-risk checker and read the verdict.
- On the analysis page, look at the exposure trace and connected wallets, not only the headline verdict.
- If a website asked you to send the funds, screen it with the website checker as well.
