About USDT

Tether USD (USDT) is a stablecoin issued by Tether, tracked across 5 chains in Eagle Virtual coverage. Tether can restrict USDT 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 USDT address can be restricted whether or not it appears in a government sanctions source.

Compliance teams screen USDT 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 USDT for compliance

A government sanctions check and a USDT control action are separate evidence classes. Tether can restrict a USDT 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 USDT transaction.

Eagle Virtual records Tether USD 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, or the stablecoin blacklist database.

Which blockchains is USDT deployed on?

USDT is tracked on Solana, TRON, Ethereum, Celo, and Avalanche in Eagle Virtual coverage. One submitted address is checked against every network Eagle Virtual supports for that address type, so an EVM address does not have to be re-entered network by network.
