Crypto currency will finance upcoming war and/terrorism and then force President Trump to heavily regulate it not ban retail crypto currency trading and establishing a regulatory framework for what is banned and possibly illegal .. and what is considered use-case, utility tech far and beyond the idea of ‘crypto’
Example : Xrp
Resolution Criteria
This market resolves YES if the United States enacts legislation or implements regulatory frameworks by December 31, 2027 that:
Establish new restrictions on cryptocurrency use specifically citing terrorism financing, war financing, or sanctions evasion as justification, AND
Create enforceable compliance requirements beyond existing anti-money laundering standards (such as transaction monitoring, asset freezing authorities, or use-case restrictions)
The resolution does NOT require a ban on retail cryptocurrency trading. Regulatory frameworks addressing stablecoin reserves, decentralized finance (DeFi) oversight, or privacy coin restrictions would qualify if explicitly tied to war/terrorism financing concerns.
Resolution sources: Federal Register, Congress.gov, official Treasury Department announcements.
Background
The U.S. Treasury's 2024 National Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment reported an increase in global online fundraising by Hamas after October 2023 attacks, with terrorist groups showing a preference for stablecoins to move and store funds. In 2024, terrorist organizations expanded their use of cryptocurrency, with groups like ISKP and Hamas leveraging stablecoins and privacy coins for fundraising and financial operations.
On January 23, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order establishing the administration's policy to support responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies across all sectors of the economy. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act became the first major federal cryptocurrency legislation to become law, establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for payment stablecoins with 1:1 reserve backing and anti-money laundering compliance.
Considerations
The current Trump administration has pursued a pro-crypto regulatory stance focused on innovation and growth rather than restriction. Anti-corruption activists have raised concerns that recent legislation contains loopholes that could facilitate money laundering and sanctions evasion, including inadequate regulation of stablecoins issued abroad and decentralized cryptocurrency platforms. A shift toward war/terrorism-specific restrictions would represent a significant reversal of current policy direction and would likely require either a change in administration or a major geopolitical event that dramatically shifts political priorities.
