The running picture

As of August 23, 2026, TrustSniffer's freeze index counts 10,184 addresses currently frozen by stablecoin issuers across TRON, holding roughly $3.52B in immobilised funds, out of 11,517 addresses ever blacklisted. Browse the full picture in the live Risk Index and the sanctions directory.

Issuers can reverse a blacklisting later, so treat everything listed here as the position at assessment time rather than a permanent label. If a wallet matters to you, check it again before you act on it.

  • Run any counterparty through the free wallet checker before the funds move, not after.
  • Read the connected-wallets part of an analysis page, since indirect exposure usually surfaces there rather than in the balance.
  • Use the live Risk Index and the sanctions directory when you want the wider pattern instead of a single day.
  • Screen the site behind a payment request with the website checker if the money is tied to an online offer.

A freeze applies to one wallet, not to the token or to the network around it. If you hold USDT or USDC yourself, nothing changes unless your own address is the one an issuer blacklisted. The risk most people run into is indirect: funds that reach you from a blacklisted wallet, or from wallets sitting close to it, show up in your own exposure trace afterwards. That is why every link in this report opens a full analysis page instead of a plain balance.

What a freeze means if you hold USDT or USDC

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.

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?

The token issuer has blacklisted the address on-chain, so the USDT or USDC held there can no longer be transferred. It is an issuer action, usually tied to sanctions, law enforcement, or theft, and it can later be reversed by the issuer.

How can I check a specific frozen wallet?

Open its link in the list above, or paste any Ethereum or TRON address into TrustSniffer's free wallet-risk checker at https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk to see its verdict, sanctioned-exposure trace, and connected addresses.

Which networks does this report cover?

TrustSniffer traces stablecoin issuer freezes on Ethereum and TRON, the two networks where the large majority of USDT and USDC freezes occur.

How current is this data?

This report reflects the freezes recorded on August 23, 2026. TrustSniffer monitors the issuer contracts continuously, and a new report is published each day.

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.
