The campaign "America First": DOJ cracks down on digital asset fraud
In the 2025 annual report, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) highlighted three major cases related to cryptocurrency, marking a record year for law enforcement. Prosecutors charged 265 defendants with estimated damages exceeding $16 billion, double that of the previous year. Support from specialized units helped #DOJ dismantle sophisticated criminal networks, from a $1 billion Medicare fraud scheme to investment scams promising "sky-high" returns.
Authorities seized hundreds of millions of dollars including cash, luxury cars, and digital assets.

The government is committed to supporting victims while advancing legislation such as the SAFE Crypto Act to establish a multi-agency task force. All illegal trading activities are under scrutiny, affirming the determination to clean up the financial environment in the U.S. $BTC
