U.S. Treasury Sanctions 131 TRON and 3 Monero Wallets Linked to ISIS-K
On July 1, 2026, OFAC updated the ISIS-K designation to include 134 cryptocurrency addresses, specifically 131 on TRON and 3 on Monero. These wallets are linked to ISIS-K's media branch, al-Azaim Media Foundation, which solicits crypto donations for operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. On-chain analysis shows these TRON wallets have received over $1.4 million since 2023 and sent over $880,000, with exposure to mainstream services and Syria-based exchangers. Tether has frozen the Tron addresses. Separately, OFAC sanctioned two Brazilian nationals and four companies tied to the criminal group PCC, which laundered over $30 million in drug proceeds using cryptocurrency. These actions underscore the ongoing use of crypto by terrorist and criminal networks, requiring VASPs to update screening protocols.
