Summary

The U.S. Treasury's OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. sanctions agency) added multiple cryptocurrency addresses to its sanctions list on July 13, broadening restrictions across Tron, Dogecoin, Solana, Dash, Zcash, Litecoin, Bitcoin and Ethereum. The measures target entities tied to the Association of Cuban Revolutionary Combatants, Cuba's Ministry of Tourism and other state-owned companies, while also freezing accounts controlled by Ukrainian citizen Dmytro Rashevskyi and Belarusian citizen Yevgeniy Vladimirovich Silayev. The move shows how sanctions enforcement is increasingly being applied directly to digital-asset wallets, aiming to block access to funds and disrupt cross-border transfers linked to sanctioned parties.
