All firms and individuals involved with the discussions provided documents suggesting that the SEC reevaluate its previously held position that many cryptocurrencies were securities under its purview. The commission has several pending enforcement actions against firms, the majority of which were filed under then-Chair Gary Gensler, but dropped an investigation into Robinhood Crypto and OpenSea. It may decide to end a case against crypto exchange Coinbase.

Some centralized crypto exchanges have run afoul of those laws and suffered significant penalties. In November 2023, the US government fined Binance $4.3 billion for failure to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions, later proven to be associated with a variety of terrorist organizations.

However, extremist groups have proven adept at changing their fundraising methods. Often driven off the mainstream internet, they turn to the dark web to continue their causes. Some have gone a step further and removed public postings of cryptocurrency donation addresses, choosing to communicate the addresses directly with supporters. Others are using privacy coins, like Monero (XMR).

To raise more money, extremist groups often cross-pollinate their ideologies — essentially blending them. By combining different extremist movements and focusing their supporters on a common enemy, they are able to attract more financing.

One of the most controversial topics regarding hate groups is “debanking” — or the closure of bank accounts associated with high-risk individuals and organizations. The controversy sometimes involves the practice itself, as it runs counter to principles like liberty but also to the individuals and organizations designated as “high-risk,” which may depend on political climates.

As the Chainalysis report notes, many groups that have already been debanked may seek out additional methods of funding, including cryptocurrency. Extremist groups, outside of the traditional banking system, use crypto as a means to avoid sanctions and continue funding their activities.

However, several wallets quickly siphoned off over $107 million in single-sided liquidity from the token’s liquidity pool while Milei deleted the tweet endorsing the token, leading to a $4.4 billion market cap wipeout in just six hours.
