Can PYUSD be frozen or blacklisted?

[cryptobro]

Yes. Like other regulated stablecoins, PYUSD includes freeze & seize functions governed by Paxos. Addresses linked to sanctions or fraud can be restricted. The smart contract uses role-based access control, allowing Paxos to:

Freeze transfers

Wipe balances under legal order

Update contract logic through controlled upgrades
This aligns with NYDFS mandates and places PYUSD in the “compliance-first stablecoin” category.

Most regulated stablecoins have freeze functions. PYUSD is no exception. 🧊

Blacklist controls always raise trust concerns, even if they’re necessary. ️
