About cbBTC

Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC) is a wrapped asset issued by Coinbase, tracked across 1 chain in Eagle Virtual coverage. Coinbase can restrict cbBTC at the token contract, so a restricted address cannot move the token. The exact effect varies by token and network, and a restriction can later be reversed. A cbBTC address can be restricted whether or not it appears in a government sanctions source.

Compliance teams screen cbBTC wallets for two things before moving funds: government sanctions exposure and the control actions recorded by the company behind the token. Eagle Virtual returns both as source-cited facts — not a risk score.

Screening cbBTC for compliance

A government sanctions check and a cbBTC control action are separate evidence classes. Coinbase can restrict a cbBTC address on-chain whether or not that address appears in a government sanctions source, so screening both classes gives the reviewer the fuller record before a cbBTC transaction.

Eagle Virtual records Coinbase Wrapped BTC control actions on the networks listed above and returns the recorded action, the network, the source, and the freshness for each result. See crypto compliance screening and blockchain address screening.
