Uniswap has blocked 253 crypto addresses related to stolen funds or sanctions

Decentralized exchange Uniswap has blocked 253 crypto addresses in its four months of working with blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs. The addresses were mostly blocked because of connections with stolen funds or transaction mixing services like Tornado Cash, which was recently sanctioned by the US Treasury.

Uniswap initially blocked addresses that were indirectly related to sanctioned addresses, but has since scaled that back. Now it only blocks addresses that were sanctioned or have directly received hacked or stolen funds.
