Ron DeSantis, Running for President of The United States of America in 2024 (R)

Quoted from www.washingtonexaminer.com on Nov 29th, 2023

I will defend the right of Americans to hold digital assets without government interference. Crypto rules should be made by Congress, not regulatory fiefdoms that blindly police an industry they don’t understand.

In the months before their brutal terrorist attack on Israel, Hamas raised millions in cryptocurrency to fund their operations. I joined my colleagues in asking the Admin for clear steps we can take to curb illicit crypto transactions and stop terrorists from evading sanctions. pic.twitter.com/IRakPawu2b

Terrorists like Hamas are using cryptocurrency to raise millions to fund their operations and it has to be stopped. I'm joining a bipartisan group of my colleagues to make sure the Biden Admin. is taking action to stop terror groups from taking advantage of crypto technologies.

Major announcement by @TreasuryDepSec Wally Adeyemo to crack down on crypto financed-terrorism. I led 100+ lawmakers raising concerns, and the Biden administration is taking swift and significant action. Congress must also step up and close crypto money laundering loopholes. twitter.com/WSJecon/status…

Before Hamas launched a deadly terrorist attack against Israel, the group raised millions of dollars through cryptocurrency. Crypto cannot be used to fund another tragedy. That's why I'm urging @POTUS to swiftly address crypto-financed terrorism.
