DOJ Hamas Crypto Seizures Hit $560,000 as FBI Shuts Down Fundraising Sites

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that cryptocurrency seizures linked to Hamas have reached $560,000, while the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) took control of several fundraising websites associated with the militant group. This marks a significant escalation in U.S. efforts to disrupt terrorist financing through digital assets. The coordinated action targeted crypto wallets and online platforms used to solicit donations, highlighting the growing role of blockchain analytics in law enforcement operations. The DOJ emphasized that these seizures demonstrate the U.S. government's commitment to cutting off funding channels for designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, which has been under increased scrutiny following recent geopolitical tensions.
