The Department of Justice has restructured its digital asset enforcement strategy by disbanding its dedicated crypto enforcement team. According to a memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the shift reallocates resources toward investigating terrorism financing and fraud cases. The updated approach aims to modernize enforcement practices amid a changing landscape in financial crime, ensuring that emerging threats are met with a more agile, decentralized response. This policy pivot reflects broader government efforts to prioritize national security over routine crypto-related prosecutions.
The Trump administration has disbanded a DOJ unit that enforced cryptocurrency fraud, ending its “regulation by prosecution” approach by instructing prosecutors to stop imposing regulatory frameworks on digital assets.
