U.S. Secret Service is a U.S. federal law enforcement agency whose mandate spans both protective operations and criminal investigations, including financial crimes and cybercrime with a direct focus on cryptocurrency fraud.

U.S. Secret Service operates under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a relationship that took effect in March 2003 when the agency transferred from the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Its investigative mission covers safeguarding U.S. payment and financial systems from fraud, cyber-based crimes, and money laundering, including cases involving digital assets.
U.S. Secret Service has been involved in significant cryptocurrency enforcement actions. On June 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture complaint targeting more than $225.3 million in cryptocurrency allegedly connected to investment fraud and money laundering, which DOJ described as the largest cryptocurrency seizure in the agency's history. The complaint alleged the targeted addresses were part of a blockchain-based money-laundering network that executed hundreds of thousands of transactions to disperse proceeds of cryptocurrency investment fraud. The agency's San Francisco Field Office investigated the case alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation's San Francisco Field Office, with proactive assistance from Tether. Per The Verge, the court complaint tied scammers to seven groups of Tether stablecoin tokens in a pig-butchering fraud laundering case.
U.S. Secret Service's prior collaboration with Tether also included a November 2023 action in which Tether, together with OKX, froze $225 million worth of USDT linked to a Southeast Asia human-trafficking group responsible for a global pig-butchering scam, at the agency's request. Separately, a former agent, Shaun Bridges, pleaded guilty in 2015 to crimes related to diversion of bitcoin during the Silk Road investigation and was later sentenced in connection with cryptocurrency theft, a conviction involving a former agent and not the agency itself.
