US SEC transfers crypto lawyers involved in Ripple, Coinbase cases to IT department
2025-02-05 22:19:09

Odaily News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reassigned Jorge Tenreiro, a crypto litigation attorney and former deputy director of the Crypto Assets and Cyberspace Division, to its Computer Systems Management (IT) Division. Tenreiro worked at the SEC for more than 11 years, starting as an enforcement attorney before serving as head of the agency's Crypto Enforcement Division from October 2022 to November 2024, according to his LinkedIn information. Tenreiro was involved in several high-profile SEC enforcement cases against cryptocurrency companies, such as Ripple and Coinbase. The SEC has reportedly scaled back the size of its crypto enforcement division as it has taken a less hostile stance toward the crypto industry since President Donald Trump took office in 2025.
