OFAC Sanctions 134 ISKP Cryptocurrency Addresses Linked to Terrorist Financing

On July 1, 2026, OFAC sanctioned 134 cryptocurrency addresses associated with the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), which have moved over USD 2 million. This action follows previous sanctions against ISKP operatives, including Ali Shafiu in July 2023. The sanctioned addresses include 131 TRON and 3 Monero wallets, with Tether freezing the balances on the TRON addresses. ISKP has been identified as a key player in financing terrorism through cryptocurrency, particularly through its media arm, al-Azaim Foundation for Media. The group has solicited donations via various platforms and has been linked to multiple terror attacks, including a significant attack in Moscow in March 2024. Recent operations have shown ISKP's fundraising infrastructure remains resilient despite law enforcement actions. The group continues to encourage its supporters to target public events for attacks.

Key Points: • OFAC sanctioned 134 ISKP cryptocurrency addresses on July 1, 2026. • The sanctioned wallets have moved over USD 2 million, primarily using TRON and Monero. • ISKP has a history of financing attacks through cryptocurrency, including a deadly attack in Moscow.
