2025 saw a record-breaking 4,059 addresses frozen for stablecoin funds, surpassing the combined total of the previous four years, with total frozen funds exceeding $1.123 billion
According to Odaily, in 2025, the number of addresses frozen by stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle reached an all-time high of 4,059, exceeding the four-year cumulative total of 3,199. Of these, 653 Ethereum addresses were frozen, while 3,406 Tron addresses were frozen—nearly all executed by Tether. The corresponding frozen amounts stood at 1.1 billion USDT and 23 million USDC, respectively.
The record 4,059 frozen addresses and $1.12B+ in stablecoin funds for 2025, mostly USDT on Tron, reflect stricter issuer-led compliance and law-enforcement cooperation. This may improve long-term regulatory acceptance but also raises fund-freeze concerns among some users. With no direct price, flow, or liquidity trigger in this annual data, the short-term market signal remains neutral (weak).
