OFAC ISIS-K 134-Address SDN Batch (July 2026)
Summary
On July 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) updated its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) listing for the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP/ISIS-K) by adding 134 cryptocurrency wallet addresses — 131 on the TRON blockchain and 3 on the Monero network — that collectively moved over $2 million in alleged terrorist financing funds since 2023. Tether, the issuer of USDT, froze all 131 TRON-based addresses within hours of the SDN update using its TRC-20 contract blacklist function, while the three Monero addresses remain technically unenforceable due to Monero's privacy architecture and lack of a central issuer. The action forms part of a broader U.S. government campaign in mid-2026 targeting ISIS crypto financing infrastructure across multiple continents.
