According to Chainalysis, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has updated the sanctions list for the extremist group “Islamic State Khorasan Province” (ISIS-K), adding 134 cryptocurrency wallet addresses as identifying information, including 131 TRON addresses and 3 Monero addresses. Chainalysis said that since 2023, these TRON addresses have received a cumulative total of more than $1.4 million and sent out more than $880,000, and they have extensive financial dealings with mainstream service platforms; some addresses also transferred funds to a Syrian cryptocurrency exchange. Tether has frozen assets across all 131 TRON addresses. Meanwhile, OFAC also sanctioned two Brazilian citizens and four companies linked to the Brazilian criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), stating that the organization used cryptocurrency to transfer more than $30 million in illegal U.S. proceeds back to Brazil.

$30 million laundered back to Brazil, PCC's operation chain is quite long, huh? Latin American gangs are getting into DeFi too?

Monero only has 3 addresses, so it seems coin mixing is still hard to trace, but TRON has become a heavy disaster area. Why does Brother Sun’s ecosystem keep having problems?

Tether reacted quickly this time, freezing 131 addresses on the spot—centralized stablecoins really have no say when it comes to compliance.
