According to a DOJ filing, Hamas' military wing advised donors that Binance could only be used to buy crypto, requiring another app to complete transfers. The guidance showed how a sanctioned group instructed donors to move funds while protecting identities; inclusion of the named platforms doesn't necessarily indicate weak KYC or AML controls. A 2026 Treasury risk assessment said Hamas and ISIS continue using digital assets, though traditional finance remains terrorists' preferred channel. The Wall Street Journal reported wallets tied to Hamas received roughly $41 million between 2020 and 2023.
