TL;DR - OFAC added 13 new digital-currency addresses to the SDN list on August 9, 2026, tied to three designated parties across Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron, and Solana.
On August 9, 2026, Plastron's automated daily diff against the U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN list detected 13 new digital-currency addresses. The addition spans four chains: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron, and Solana. All 13 addresses trace back to three designated parties, each carrying its own sanctions program tag.
What happened
The batch breaks down by entity. SHPS SHELBIT picked up six addresses under the SDGT program: 0x6b69e2a7545c166417a80c61a77562052bffa9c5 and 0xe05f529f5284d75624eba386cb716928c3b54a2a on Ethereum, 6wjqWWra8ombzaw6VHrG5xpQ972jCYF6bbHiFCbWmr4U on Solana, TXN3hVukebhyYR31YPCYd7aJAvmUeXu1ab on Tron, and two Bitcoin addresses, bc1qjzk63wwatq2f638psymq3qapn00aqgksyx56l3t8eg7zuuccwasq498khf and bc1qz654h5qcqzalv6ltpxsk4ksdcc3e20wkedqntgnarv3a0t2e2p7scr48pl. KAYVANPOUR, Siavash received four addresses under SDGT and IRGC: 0x8d79c73daae8630c88de372ba8f57592fa987607 on Ethereum, 15Zt2mKuQ5Qy6DEXfDcbtsEVneoGQQXrS4 and 1BUXxhcwzFukm9CUxnhag85sSXDkMRbXse on Bitcoin, and TPgxjjB6AJeMSQFngbUM6dMMxPHa9GEtYa on Tron. CRYPTO HOME DMCC got three addresses under SDGT: 0xbb69e01921b17cd22080968bcc96ba6115da6062 on Ethereum, 1G1V1b9s9uPsFCNL15ibZk44xsVygKsP2u on Bitcoin, and TTVJuXWCusAURrpNShiypauagEH1N4CrxV on Tron. The full list is published on the Treasury's recent actions page.
Who is affected
Anyone who has interacted with these addresses, directly or through an intermediary, needs to check exposure now. This isn't limited to direct senders or receivers. Multi-hop flows through mixers, bridges, or pooled exchange wallets can still carry sanctions risk downstream, even if the original counterparty never shows up on a surface-level transaction list. The IRGC tag on the Kayvanpour addresses adds a second program layer beyond the base SDGT designation, which matters for compliance teams tracking program-specific exposure rather than just a single blacklist hit.
Why it matters
With this update, Plastron's screening dataset now tracks 958 OFAC digital-currency addresses across chains. Every EVM address in that set, including all four Ethereum addresses named here, is flagged Critical by the screener. That's not a soft warning tier. A Critical flag means direct or near-direct proximity to a sanctioned entity, and it's the kind of result that should stop a transaction before it settles, not after a bank or exchange asks questions post-facto.
The four-chain spread here, ETH, BTC, TRX, SOL, isn't unusual for SDN crypto designations at this point. Sanctioned actors diversify across chains for the same reason legitimate users do: liquidity, fees, and platform availability. But for screening purposes it means a single-chain check misses two-thirds of the exposure. A wallet that looks clean on Ethereum could be tied to the same entity via a Tron or Solana address in the same designation.
What to do now
Run any Ethereum or EVM counterparty address through an OFAC sanctions check before sending funds, accepting a deposit, or onboarding a new wallet. Plastron cross-references live against the OFAC SDN list plus thousands of labeled addresses, and it's free. If you're unsure whether a specific address in your transaction history matches any of the four Ethereum entries above, or any other SDN entry, screen the address with Plastron and get a Critical/High/Medium/Low verdict in seconds, not after a compliance review flags it weeks later.
Bookmark the Treasury's recent actions page if you track designations manually, but automated diffing catches updates the same day they post, which matters when a designation lands on an address you've already interacted with.
