🇺🇸 BIG MOVE: Jay Clayton is back — now as Interim U.S. Attorney for Manhattan
Yep, the former SEC Chair just got sworn in to lead the Southern District of New York (SDNY) — one of the most powerful prosecutor’s offices in the country. Here's what really matters:
⚖️ He’s got 120 days to run the office without Senate confirmation. After that, he either needs a formal vote or a court extension to stay in charge.
⛔️ Chuck Schumer blocked his confirmation vote, likely due to political concerns — SDNY has a long history of digging into high-stakes, high-profile investigations.
🧠 For those who forgot: Clayton ran the SEC from 2017 to 2020, during the initial crypto boom.
He called most ICOs “securities.”
Was tough on unregistered crypto offerings.
Blocked multiple Bitcoin ETF attempts.
Laid early groundwork for the Ripple case.
🔍 This appointment puts someone very crypto-aware in a powerful legal seat — and SDNY has been behind most of the big crypto takedowns: FTX, Terra/Luna, Celsius, and more.
📉 So yeah, if you're in crypto, you might want to watch this closely. Enforcement actions, token classifications, and even broader regulatory sentiment could shift with him in that chair.
🗳️ Some say this is a smart pre-election move: put a Wall Street-savvy, crypto-experienced guy in charge of a key legal battleground… without needing the political fight of a confirmation (yet).
