Somewhere this month, a compliance officer is preparing a report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (\u201cOFAC\u201d) that lists your frozen tokens\u2014or perhaps no one is preparing such a report because your tokens were never blocked in the first place. The 2026 Annual Report of Blocked Property is due September 30, and OFAC\u2019s filing guidance lists digital assets and cryptocurrency among the reportable asset types.<\/p>\n

Whether your tokens were blocked under OFAC sanctions or frozen for another reason determines what you can do next. But the notice from the cryptocurrency exchange may say only that your account is \u201cunder review,\u201d without telling you whether the platform imposed its own restriction, implemented a stablecoin issuer\u2019s freeze, blocked the tokens under an OFAC sanctions authority, or responded to government process.<\/p>\n

Those mechanisms can look identical, but they may involve different decision-makers, procedures, and deadlines. Choosing the wrong path can cost months.<\/p>\n

Four mechanisms, one symptom<\/p>\n

OFAC administers sanctions authorities requiring U.S. persons to block certain property. The person with possession or control\u2014often an exchange or custodian\u2014implements the block by denying access to the property. But not every frozen account reflects an OFAC block.<\/p>\n

Sanctions blocking. A U.S. person determines that property in its possession or control is subject to a blocking requirement. The holder must deny access and report the property.<\/p>\n
