On June 22, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated five entities as nodes in an ISIS cryptocurrency financing network: three Nigerian bureaux de change (Nine to Nine Exchange Bureau de Change Limited, Manhattan Bureau de Change Limited, and Generation Currency Bureau de Change Limited), each owned and controlled by Mukhtar Adamu Muhammad, an alleged ISIS-West Africa financial facilitator based in Lagos; and two Turkey-based money service businesses (Spider Gayrimenkul Ve Genel Ticaret Limited Sirketi and Alkaram Danismanlik Gayrimenkul Ic Ve Dis Genel Ticaret Limited Sirketi), both owned and controlled by Mohamad Alhmidan, who was previously designated by OFAC in March 2016. These entities allegedly served as the cash-conversion and hawala infrastructure through which ISIS supporters across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa routed cryptocurrency to the Islamic State.
