Do Terrorists Use Trump’s Crypto Venture? What’s The Matter?

Do Terrorists Use Trump’s Crypto Venture? What’s The Matter?

The US President-elect Donald Trump and Steve Witkoff recently partnered to launch a crypto venture called ‘World Liberty Financial.’ According to some financial experts, criminals and Iran-backed militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah have used this platform for illicit purposes. 

The recent concern raises questions on this project because of its new partner project Tron, an alternate blockchain platform to Bitcoin offering low fee and high speed transactions. 

As reported by Reuters, Tron network has overtaken its rival as a vehicle for crypto transfers by associating with groups of terror organizations in Israel, the United States, and other countries. 

Tron is quicker and cheaper than Bitcoin. Last month, this blockchain platform announced that it will invest $30 million in World Liberty Finance. 

Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBTCF), which is responsible for such seizures, has frozen 186 Tron wallets since July 2021, saying they were used by a “terrorist organization” for a “severe terror crime.” 

Israeli authorities linked 84 Tron wallets to Hamas or Hamas allies, including Islamic Jihad, 39 to Hezbollah, and 63 to unspecified terrorist groups or money changers. The most recent Tron seizure was announced on March 28. However, Hamas and Hezbollah did not respond to the requests.
