1. US DOJ Disbands Crypto Enforcement Unit
In a surprising move, the U.S. Justice Department has dissolved its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team. The shift indicates a new focus on broader criminal investigations involving digital assets and aligns with President Trump’s push for open access to blockchain networks.
2. EU Watchdog Issues Crypto Warning
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has raised concerns about the increasing integration of crypto with traditional finance. While still a relatively small market, crypto's growth poses potential financial stability risks in the EU’s already strained economic climate.
