OFAC sanctions eight Canadian money services businesses, four listed with Tron addresses
The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has now taken 13 crypto enforcement actions in 2026. That is one more than at this point in 2025 and one short of last year's full total of 14. The latest, on 6 November, added eight Canadian money services businesses to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List under Iran-related authority. Four of them are listed with Tron (TRX) addresses.
OFAC's designation notice places all eight under Executive Order 13902. The accompanying press release is titled "Operation Economic Outcast Sanctions Eight Canadian Money Services Businesses Enabling Iranian Regime". Each entry carries a secondary sanctions warning under Section 2 of that order, a flag aimed at non-U.S. parties that deal with the listed firms.
Wallets and registrations
1380079 BC Ltd, which trades as Amin Exchange Vancouver, has three Tron addresses on its entry. Farah Exchange (2397639 Ontario Ltd), CCC Inc and Diverse Trade Inc, which trades as Millionex, have one each. The other four entries list no crypto addresses.
Every entry includes a Canadian money services business registration number. The firms were established between November 2013 (Farah Exchange) and September 2022 (Amin Exchange Vancouver). Most of the listed addresses are on Yonge Street in North York, Richmond Hill and Thornhill, Ontario. Others are in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
Several of the entities overlap. B Galaxy Inc and CCC Inc both use the names Cryptoyal and "C Exchange", and both list 6118 Yonge Street, Unit B, North York. The Amin Exchange name appears on two entities: the Vancouver company and Top PC Technician Inc, listed as Amin Exchange Toronto.
Recent sanctions-evasion actions
Sanctions evasion accounts for 13 of the 108 actions listed so far in 2026. In late October, OFAC sanctioned facilitators of North Korean IT worker fraud and listed crypto addresses. In September, the Justice Department filed a civil forfeiture complaint against about $61 million in crypto allegedly tied to Iranian black-market oil sales.
Across all agencies, 14 crypto sanctions actions have been recorded in 2026, the same number as by this date in 2025.
