New Lawsuit Accuses Binance of Enabling Hamas-Linked Transactions
A court filing dated Nov. 24 claims Binance’s corporate structure and compliance systems enabled transfers by individuals linked to U.S.-sanctioned terrorist groups, including alleged Hamas affiliates. The complaint does not resolve those claims in court, but accuses the exchange of systemic failures that purportedly allowed sanctioned actors to use its platform to move funds.
The suit amplifies regulatory and reputational risks for Binance as global authorities continue to scrutinize crypto firms for AML and sanctions compliance. If the case proceeds, it could lead to fines, stricter oversight, or operational changes and will be watched by investors, regulators and other exchanges as a test of accountability in the crypto industry. Binance has not issued a public response in the filing text provided.
