Assessment
A New York woman faces federal charges for allegedly funding designated terrorist organizations through dozens of cryptocurrency transfers. The complaint cites explicit support for Hamas’s October 7 attack, raising questions about how individuals can use digital currencies to bypass traditional financial monitoring systems. Authorities will likely focus on tracing other potential donors using similar methods.
