Hamas military wing advised donors against using Binance

A US Department of Justice seizure warrant reveals that in February 2025, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, advised donors to avoid sending funds directly from Binance. The group suggested using Trust Wallet, RedotPay, OKX, Kast, and Bybit for transfers, while noting that Binance could still be used to purchase cryptocurrencies. The instructions recommended sending USDT via the Tron (TRC-20) network to an external address. The DOJ reported seizing approximately $560,000 in cryptocurrency during operations in 2025, though the document does not confirm whether the mentioned services facilitated transfers to the organization.
