AMLHow to check USDC (Circle) for AML and sanctions
Before you accept USDC from a counterparty in a P2P deal, check their wallet for cleanliness. One risky transfer and the exchange freezes your deposit, not the sender.
USDC is issued by Circle, and the company freezes blacklisted addresses right inside the contract — for OFAC sanctions and law-enforcement requests. A frozen USDC address can neither send nor receive tokens.

What exactly is checked
We check: OFAC, the on-chain Circle blacklist (isBlacklisted), the Chainalysis oracle, TRM. We compare several independent sources (a consensus), not a single database — so more gets caught.
Why it matters for P2P
Exchanges (Binance, Bybit, MEXC, HTX and others) automatically analyze the origin of incoming crypto and block funds with a sanctions, mixer or darknet trail — often retroactively. A check takes 10 seconds; unblocking an account takes weeks of correspondence.
FAQ
Do I need to connect a wallet?
No. A public address is enough — the same one you already give your counterparty. We never get access to your funds.
How much does a USDC check cost?
The first check is free. After that — from $0.45 per check; channel subscribers get 1 free per month.
Can I check by transaction hash?
Yes, we identify the sender by the hash (EVM, TRON, BTC) and check them.
