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

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 September 17, 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.
