Stablecoin freezes on October 22, 2026

Across the networks TrustSniffer traces, issuers froze 20 addresses on October 22, 2026, removing about $4.48M in USDT and USDC from circulation.

  • Ethereum: 3 freezes, $482.5k frozen
  • TRON: 17 freezes, $4.00M frozen

TRON carried most of the day: 17 of the 20 freezes and $4.00M of the $4.48M frozen. Ethereum had three freezes worth $482.5k, and one of those addresses, 0x82d75CF37f1F4AC61628E141F291f43514d8CB71, held $477.8k on its own.

20 freezes, above the 7-day average of 14

The previous seven days averaged 14 freezes a day and about $6.32M frozen daily. Over the last 30 days the daily average was 19, and October 22, 2026 ranks 12th of 31 days by number of freezes. The chart shows each day's count across the last 14 days.

The dollar total went the other way. The day had more freezes than the weekly average, but the $4.48M frozen sits below the seven-day daily average of about $6.32M, so the addresses frozen earlier in the week held more money between them.
