Stablecoin sanctions refer to measures imposed by governments or regulatory bodies to restrict the use of stablecoins by specific individuals, entities, or jurisdictions. These sanctions aim to prevent the circumvention of traditional financial controls and to enforce compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. They typically involve identifying and freezing stablecoin holdings or prohibiting transactions with designated addresses.
