U.S. Persons: Assets Frozen, No Transactions
On January 30, 2026, the Treasury’s OFAC added ZEDCEX EXCHANGE LTD and ZEDXION EXCHANGE LTD to the SDN List. All property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of these entities are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.
Secondary Sanctions Risk Warned
OFAC states these entities are "Subject to Secondary Sanctions" and lists secondary sanctions risk under section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224. That means persons who deal with these listed entities may face additional U.S. sanctions consequences tied to those executive order provisions.
Listed Crypto Addresses Are Blocked
OFAC published specific TRX (Tron) digital currency addresses tied to ZEDCEX EXCHANGE LTD as associated with the designation. Those addresses are part of the blocked property subject to U.S. jurisdiction, so transfers to or from them could be prohibited for persons under U.S. jurisdiction.
