He added that the digital asset sector plays a prominent but relatively minute role in global terrorist financing operations during a speech on Friday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Adeyemo\u2019s statement comes in stark contrast to claims from a massive lineup of US lawmakers earlier this month stating that the Hamas terrorist group raised $130 million from their supporters via digital assets.
