The content of the report was later proven to be widely exaggerated.<\/p>\n<h2>US to Crackdown Crypto Channels to Hamas<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><br \/>Adeyemo revealed that both public and undisclosed sanctions would be imposed, targeting various channels through which Hamas receives support.<\/p>\n<p>The focus will be on shutting down charities and pursuing individuals involved in facilitating payments for the militant organization.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of Hamas\u2019s October 7 attack, Washington has already implemented two rounds of sanctions, concentrating on the group\u2019s investment portfolio and issuing alerts to financial institutions to counter Hamas financing.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Nelson, the Treasury\u2019s top sanctions official, recently engaged with the private sector, including cryptocurrency firms and payment processors, to discuss strategies for countering Hamas\u2019s fundraising techniques.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence assured continued collaboration with entities actively investigating and disrupting Hamas-related activities.<\/p>\n<h2>Crypto in Focus<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><br \/>While acknowledging that the majority of Hamas\u2019 assets do not currently come from crypto, Adeyemo emphasized the importance of the crypto industry implementing anti-money laundering safeguards. He warned that without such measures, Hamas and similar groups could increasingly turn to cryptocurrency in the future.<\/p>\n<p>To address this concern, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is proposing a rule under Section 311 of the USA Patriot Act.<\/p>\n<p>This rule designates cryptocurrency \u201cmixing\u201d transactions as a primary money laundering concern, compelling financial institutions to monitor and report them.<\/p>\n<p>Adeyemo stressed that these efforts to cut off Hamas funding would increasingly target facilitators in third countries, requiring coordination with allies and partners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter home-newsletter single\">\n<div class=\"left-side\">\n<p>\n        <em><br \/>\n            Enter your email for our Free Daily Newsletter        <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p> A quick 3min read about today&#8217;s crypto news!<\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"response-msg\" id=\"newsletter-response\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/us-and-allies-to-intensify-sanctions-against-hamas-targeting-crypto.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Adobe Stock\/ sveta The United States and its allies are set to escalate sanctions against the militant group Hamas in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-crypto"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>US and Allies to Intensify Sanctions Against Hamas, Targeting Crypto | inFundPros<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Source: Adobe Stock\/ sveta The United States and its allies are set to escalate sanctions against the militant group Hamas in the coming days.
