On October 9, 2026, at 15:30 UTC, four Tron addresses were removed from the USDT blacklist while their balances remained intact, allowing THORChain to resume Tron trading, deposits, and signing operations. This event occurred three hours after the initial 1.45 million USDT freeze, leaving 19 other wallets frozen in the same sweep. The incident involved a specific set of Tron addresses that were targeted for freezing, with the freeze duration and specific addresses not fully detailed in the available evidence.
Key points
- Four Tron addresses were removed from the USDT blacklist at 15:30 UTC while their balances remained intact, enabling THORChain to resume Tron trading, deposits, and signing operations.
- The 19 other wallets frozen in the same sweep remain blacklisted, indicating a partial freeze affecting only a subset of the targeted addresses.
Context and limitations
The evidence does not specify the exact Tron addresses frozen, the duration of the freeze, or the specific reasons for the partial freeze affecting only four addresses out of the 24 total.
