US Senate Democrats criticise Trump's AG pick Todd Blanche for dismantling the Justice Department's crypto enforcement unit in April 2025, enabling Trump's $1.4 billion crypto ties and a presidential pardon for former Binance CEO CZ Zhao. Blanche has signalled a shift away from prosecuting blockchain developers, though ongoing cases like Tornado Cash remain live. If you're building on-chain infrastructure or a blockchain platform in the US, prosecution risk from the DoJ just dropped sharply - but only if you can prove developers didn't knowingly enable crime. Existing cases like Tornado Cash still move forward, so the enforcement line has shifted, not disappeared.
