US Justice Dept Disbands Bitcoin And Crypto Enforcement Unit
In a major shift in federal oversight of bitcoin and crypto, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has officially disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET), a specialized unit created under the Biden administration to investigate and prosecute criminal activity involving bitcoin and crypto.
The move follows a directive from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a Trump appointee confirmed earlier this year and marks a broader rollback of federal regulatory scrutiny over the bitcoin and crypto sector. The DOJ issued an internal memo on Monday notifying staff that the unit would be dissolved effective immediately, redirecting remaining cases to existing divisions within the department.
