The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has implemented a new rule restricting the transfer of sensitive personal and government data to foreign entities. This rule, which took effect on April 9, 2025, aims to enhance data protection and consumer safety. It specifically targets cross-border data transfers, affecting both U.S. and foreign-owned companies operating within the United States. The DOJ has also issued a memorandum realigning its cryptocurrency enforcement efforts, which has been noted in ongoing legal proceedings involving cryptocurrency founder Do Kwon. Despite the new memo outlining the Trump administration's cryptocurrency policy, prosecutors have stated that it will not change the $40 billion criminal fraud case against Kwon, whose trial has been delayed to February 2026. The DOJ's actions reflect a broader effort to address concerns regarding data security and regulatory practices in the digital asset space.
