According to CoinDesk, documents from the asset seizure order released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) show that the military branch of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, suggested in a letter to potential donors not to use Binance for transferring funds, but instead recommended platforms such as Bybit, OKX, Kast, and Redotpay. The letter advised using Tether's USDT stablecoin and the TRC-20 network, which is used to create and manage fungible tokens on the Tron blockchain.The Al-Qassam Brigades stated in the letter: "It is best not to use the 'Binance' platform for transferring support, and do not input any data indicating our official name, to avoid your wallet being blocked, and for your safety (inputting any fictitious data as the recipient); you can transfer through applications like Trust Wallet, RedotPay, OKX, Kast, BYBIT, etc." The organization claimed that Binance "can only be used to purchase currency, and then another application is needed to complete the transfer process."Binance's Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman responded that the terrorist organization's suggestion for people to avoid Binance indicates that its control measures are working. OKX stated that the wallet address mentioned in the February 10, 2025 communication is unrelated to them and has been identified by their internal controls as being associated with illegal activities, and related transfers will be flagged and blocked. Kast stated that it has a dedicated financial crime compliance department. The U.S. Treasury noted in its 2026 Terrorism Financing Risk Assessment that organizations such as Hamas and ISIS continue to use digital assets for donations and transfers.
