In 2023, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) indeed restructured its cryptocurrency crime handling team by integrating the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET) into the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS).

Background of the Change:
1. Unit Integration, Not Elimination
- NCET was not completely eliminated, but integrated into CCIPS to strengthen coordination in cybercrime and cryptocurrency investigations.
- The goal is resource efficiency and to expedite investigations of complex cases such as money laundering, ransomware, and cryptocurrency-based fraud.

2. Focus on Cryptocurrency Crimes Remains a Priority
- The DOJ emphasizes that handling cryptocurrency crimes remains a priority, especially with the rise of cases such as NFT fraud, DeFi Ponzi schemes, and money laundering through mixers (e.g., Tornado Cash).
- CCIPS will continue to collaborate with ongoing investigations related to digital assets.

3. Enhanced Investigation Capacity
- This restructuring also aims to strengthen blockchain transaction tracking by involving cryptocurrency forensic experts such as Chainalysis and TRM Labs.

Policy Impact:
- Operational Efficiency: The unification of teams is expected to reduce overlapping authorities.
- Faster Response: Integration with CCIPS allows the DOJ to respond to increasingly sophisticated cryptocurrency crime developments.
