OFAC screening for stablecoin transfers

Stablecoins are not exempt from sanctions. A USDC transfer to a sanctioned wallet is a prohibited transaction under OFAC's strict liability standard. The asset being pegged to USD does not change the legal obligation.

Issuer freezes

Circle (USDC) and Tether (USDT) have frozen millions in sanctioned addresses. Your agent's transfer may be frozen at the contract level after the fact — but the violation already occurred the moment the transfer was initiated.
