A new focus on dismantling drug cartels by the Trump administration raises concerns about unforeseen collateral damage to the digital asset community. This shift, marked by designations of criminal cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs), could lead to aggressive anti-terrorism prosecutions against cryptocurrency companies. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has already issued a memo instructing federal prosecutors to use the most serious charges, including anti-terrorism charges, against cartels and transnational criminal organizations, potentially subjecting software developers and investors in the crypto space to unnecessary scrutiny.
