The third address, TTRx7PkzEDyZAxYaWo9yeCCFPkCwyiffje, was blacklisted with $0.00 recorded as frozen.

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.
- Check an address before you send funds to it, using the free wallet checker.
- Look at a wallet's exposure trace and connected addresses as well as its verdict, because the evidence of risk can sit with the wallets it deals with.
- Before you connect a wallet or pay, screen the website asking for payment with the website checker.
- An issuer can reverse a freeze later, so treat each status as accurate at assessment time and re-check before you act.
A freeze applies to the blacklisted address itself. It stops the USDT or USDC held there from being moved. Issuers usually act because of sanctions, law-enforcement requests or theft, but this report does not say which reason applied to each of the three addresses. Rather than guessing, open each wallet's page and read its own risk verdict and exposure trace.
What these freezes mean for you
- 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.
