Stablecoin freeze tracker
Tether and Circle can freeze any address on their own token contracts, and when they do, they write it to the chain. This page counts those events by reading the contracts — not a scraped list, not a dashboard somebody updates by hand. Every row links to the transaction that did it.
A freeze is the issuer's action, and the contract records no reason for it. Nothing here says who owns an address or why it was frozen — see why USDT gets frozen for what the flag does and does not mean, or check one address with the free USDT blacklist check.
By network
| Network | Token | Issuer | Currently frozen | Freezes lifted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | USDC | Circle | 1 | 0 |
Most recent events
The issuer added or removed these addresses from its blacklist. That is the whole claim — the contract gives no reason and KYTGate does not supply one.

Published because a count means nothing without it. The scan reads forward from where it started and backward through history a slice at a time.

Questions people ask
What does it mean when Tether freezes an address?
Tether's USDT contract carries a blacklist its owner controls. Once an address is on it, the contract refuses to move that address's USDT: the balance still shows, but no transfer from it succeeds. Circle's USDC contracts work the same way. The contract records the freeze, not the reason — usually it follows a law-enforcement request, but the chain does not say so and neither will we.
Is a frozen address the same as a sanctioned address?
No, and confusing the two is a common mistake. A freeze is an issuer's own action inside its token contract. A sanctions designation is a government publishing an address on an official list. They overlap often but neither implies the other: plenty of frozen addresses appear on no list, and most listed addresses are never frozen.
Where do these numbers come from?
From the contracts themselves. KYTGate reads the blacklist events Tether and Circle write on-chain — AddedBlackList and RemovedBlackList on USDT, Blacklisted and UnBlacklisted on USDC — and counts them. Nothing is scraped from another site and nothing is maintained by hand. Every row links to the transaction so you can check it.
Does this cover Tron?
Not yet. Tron carries the largest USDT supply and most freezes, but its events come from a different API rather than the standard EVM log interface, and a tracker whose biggest chain is estimated would be worse than one that says which chains it reads. The free per-address checker does cover Tron — that check calls the contract directly and is unaffected.
My address is frozen. Can you unfreeze it?
No. Only the issuer can, and only it decides. KYTGate is compliance software for the institutions receiving deposits, not a recovery service, and anyone promising to unfreeze USDT for a fee is running a scam.
Method: KYTGate calls the official USDT and USDC contracts (listed on this page) and reads their blacklist events. Counts are distinct add events minus remove events. Bridged and wrapped variants are excluded on purpose — they carry no issuer blacklist, so counting them would imply a coverage that does not exist. Related: addresses on the official sanctions lists, which is a different thing entirely.
