Sign InIn a move reflecting intensified regulatory scrutiny over the crypto sector, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned a financial network linked to Hamas. The action, announced on July 23, 2026, targeted individuals operating unlicensed over-the-counter (OTC) desks in Turkey, resulting in the freezing of approximately $38.6 million in digital assets across seven TRON wallet addresses.
Reports indicate that this network utilized TRON wallets to move funds between OTC desks in the UAE and Gaza-based money service businesses already listed as Specially Designated Nationals. According to analyst data, these actions follow the identification of significant interactions between these wallets and addresses previously flagged by Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing in early 2026, highlighting the risks posed by informal crypto desks in regions with weak oversight.
Regarding market impact, updated price data for the TRX token was unavailable at the time of this report; however, this enforcement action increases regulatory pressure on the TRON ecosystem. Traders should monitor the implications for liquidity on unlicensed exchanges, noting that the upcoming economic calendar shows no immediate catalysts directly related to the digital asset sector.
