During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump promised to ease up on crypto enforcement, and it seems that he intends to follow through on that promise. Lawyers from the Justice Department and regulatory agencies have stated that under Trump's administration, crypto fraud cases will no longer be a priority, with a shift in focus towards immigration law enforcement. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan will dedicate fewer resources to crypto-related crimes, and there may be a reallocation of resources towards immigration enforcement. Trump's nomination of Jay Clayton as the new U.S. attorney in Manhattan suggests a potential change in SEC leadership, as Clayton was less aggressive in pursuing crypto-cases during his tenure as SEC chair. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is also expected to realign its priorities and may not continue the trend of increasing crypto-related cases on its docket. However, the CFTC will remain active in addressing fraud and manipulation in crypto markets.
