Freeze or seizure?
A freeze is a recorded control action that prevents the holder from originating a transfer. A seizure is a separate action that burns token units or moves them under a deployment-specific control.
Companies use different words for this outcome. Tether calls certain actions a blacklist, Robinhood a block, and Monerium a ban. We group them because the holder cannot originate a transfer, while incoming-transfer and balance-burn mechanics can still differ by deployment. Every figure below counts actions, not addresses: one address restricted on eight networks is eight separate records.
Which stablecoins freeze the most?
The generated table below lists exact covered action counts by token at the stated data timestamp. The counts describe observed records; they do not establish why a company acted or how willing it was to act on a request. Review covered companies and tokens for deployment details.

Three things worth knowing
Screening one network is not enough
Covered actions appear on multiple networks. Screen the exact network you use rather than assuming that a result on one deployment applies to another.
Each network action is counted separately
Separate recorded actions can target the same address on several networks, but control state does not propagate automatically. An address restricted on Ethereum, TRON and three other networks appears as five actions here because each record has its own date and evidence.
Releases are kept too
An issuer can freeze an address and later release it. We keep both, not just today's status — so a decision you made in March can be evidenced against what the chain said in March.
Where the numbers come from
The coverage inventory includes 324 stablecoin and real-world-asset tokens across 420 deployments — dollar, euro (EURC, EURe, agEUR) and Brazilian real (BRZ). Those inventory counts do not mean that every listed token or deployment has a recorded freeze or seizure action.
Dollar figures use the token amount at the time of the action, priced from an approved peg or from certified historical pricing. If we have neither, the action is counted but shows no value. Nothing is estimated.
Where this fits in a compliance program
MiCA (EU)
Monitoring and evidence retention can be part of the program. We record covered freezes and seizures on EURC, EURe and agEUR, with sources and data freshness shown.
Brazil (BCB)
Article 47 of BCB Resolution 520 requires SPSAVs to maintain procedures and controls for customer identification and qualification and for monitoring customer operations and transactions. Resolution 521 separately addresses specified virtual-asset activities under the foreign-exchange and international-capital framework. Covered BRZ, USDT, and USDC records can support those broader workflows.
