Expressing the sense of Congress that the Secretary of State in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury should investigate the use of cryptocurrencies by Hamas (also known as Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya), and whether any cryptocurrencies were exchanged between Hamas and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
HCONRES 88 is a non-binding congressional resolution directing the State Department and Treasury to investigate two specific matters: (1) whether Hamas uses cryptocurrencies, and (2) whether Hamas exchanged cryptocurrencies with the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). It does not create new law but formally expresses Congress's position on these investigations. The resolution specifically targets cryptocurrency transactions involving Hamas (also known as Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya) and its potential dealings with UNRWA. This resolution affects the State Department and Treasury, requiring them to coordinate this inquiry. It focuses solely on fact-finding about cryptocurrency use, not on policy changes or sanctions.
