Tether Freezes 131 Tron Wallets Tied to ISIS-K After US Sanctions
Tether froze all 131 Tron addresses after Chainalysis linked them to fundraising that moved more than $1.4 million since 2023.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control added 134 crypto wallet addresses to its ISIS-Khorasan sanctions entry, including 131 Tron and 3 Monero addresses.
- ISIS-Khorasan has historically solicited cryptocurrency donations through various online platforms, utilizing its media arm, al-Azaim Media Foundation, to reach supporters across Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia.
- Chainalysis reported the sanctioned Tron wallets received more than $1.4 million in donations since 2023 and sent more than $880,000, prompting stablecoin issuer Tether to freeze balances on all 131 addresses.
- These measures follow June 22 sanctions targeting facilitators across Europe, the Middle East, and West Africa, including Syria-based MSB Bitcoin Xchange and Turkish MSB Spider to disrupt ISIS funding networks.
- Blockchain analytics tools like those from TRM Labs increasingly anchor terrorism financing prosecutions, with on-chain evidence securing convictions in Indonesia during 2024 and 2025 by proving illicit fund flows.
