It&#8217;s important to note that fiat currencies, particularly the US dollar, are widely preferred for illicit activities. The United Nations estimates that approximately 2% to 5% of traditional cash, translating to roughly $800 billion to $2 trillion in current US dollars, is linked to various forms of illegal transactions. The Hawala system still thrives the world over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Commodities Futures and Trading Commission has sued Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, alleging that Binance officials were aware of transactions linked to Hamas on the platform and did nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, Binance one of the biggest crypto exchanges, in collaboration with Israel\u2019s cyber unit, has frozen all accounts linked to Hamas after the recent terrorist attack on Israel which has resulted in a full-fledged war between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/edulpatel\/?originalSubdomain=in\"><strong><u><strong>Edul Patel<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>CEO of Indian crypto exchange Mudrex, \u201cThe ongoing geopolitical crisis in the Middle East has impacted both the traditional and crypto markets. Binance\u2019s willingness to step in and freeze the accounts of Hamas in collaboration with the Israeli government proves how crypto organizations are open to working with governments and regulators to protect the global community. It signifies the arrival of an intriguing phase of the industry\u2019s growth, which emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that adheres to the principles of blockchain technology and safeguards global security.
