The numbers
Counted from public on-chain events on the Tether and Circle contracts, and from the U.S. Treasury OFAC list. Compiled 06 September 2026.
Blacklist
Method: distinct addresses with an AddedBlackList, Burned or RemovedBlackList event on the Tether or Circle contracts, TRON and Ethereum, from 2018-06-09 to 2026-09-06.
- Addresses blacklisted
- 10,999
- Funds destroyed
- 2,224
- Released
- 1,285
- Events, all time
- 14,795
Counted by distinct address, not by event — a wallet can appear several times. “Funds destroyed” means Tether burned the balance and reissued it elsewhere, which is final. “Released” means the flag was later removed.
By chain
Method: the same event set, split by the contract that emitted it. As of 2026-09-06.
- TRON
- 7,733
- Ethereum
- 3,277
- Last 30 days

Sanctions
Method: crypto addresses in the U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN list, parsed from Treasury’s own XML export and refreshed daily. As of 2026-09-06.

A sanctions designation and an issuer freeze are different things — browse the entities.
How much warning there is
Method: for each wallet, the gap between the first freeze proposal we observed on-chain and the confirmed freeze, over 853 TRON wallets. Pairs more than 24 hours apart are excluded as re-designations. As of 2026-09-06.
- Median window (TRON)
- 17 minutes
- Frozen within a minute
- 23%
- Wallets measured
- 853
Measured from our own detection log against confirmed on-chain freezes. On TRON a freeze needs two signatures and the first is public; that gap is the only warning anyone gets, and a median is not a promise.
Freeze contagion
Method: wallets that transacted with an address before it was frozen, then measured whether and when they were frozen themselves. n = 779,678 exposed wallets, 1,349 later frozen. Population-level, not a per-wallet forecast.
- Wallets studied
- 779,678
- Later frozen
- 1,349
- Median gap
- 123s
- Within an hour
- 65%
Of the wallets that transacted with a wallet before it was frozen, this many were frozen afterwards. Freezes arrive in batches rather than spreading slowly. A population figure, not a prediction about any wallet — we do not publish those.
Citing these figures
Every number on this page is counted at build time from public on-chain events; none is estimated. If you quote one, please include the date — the counts change daily.
Suggested form: “As of 06 September 2026, OmniTrace counts 10,999 USDT and USDC addresses blacklisted on TRON and Ethereum (omnitraceapp.com/stats).”
What is not here
No dollar totals. We record which wallets were frozen and when, not the balance each held at the time of its event, so a “$ frozen” figure would be an estimate dressed as a count. Everything above is a count of things we actually hold.
