- TZEBfRJEstMj6sxrC3D5TcNLwdRHmKspMX on TRON, $130.0k frozen
- TM9XjNEJp43ErSFhkunr3Y2KEiiyEii14L on TRON, $521.33 frozen
Both freezes that day happened on TRON, and one address accounted for almost the entire total: $130.0k of the roughly $130.5k frozen. The second address held $521.33 when the issuer acted. Issuers usually freeze funds in response to sanctions, law-enforcement requests, or theft, but this report does not say which reason applied to either wallet.

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 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.
- Before you send stablecoins to a new counterparty, paste their address into the wallet checker to see its verdict and sanctioned-exposure trace.
- If you have already dealt with one of the addresses above, open its analysis page and review the connected wallets it lists.

- If a site asked you to pay into a wallet, screen the site too with 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
What does it mean when a stablecoin wallet is frozen?
How can I check a specific frozen wallet?
Which networks does this report cover?
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.
