U.S. Department of Justice is an executive department affiliated with the United States federal government and works alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation Virtual Asset Exploitation Unit and the Criminal Division in pursuing crypto-related criminal cases.

In November 2020, U.S. Department of Justice seized cryptocurrency tied to Silk Road valued at approximately $1 billion in Bitcoin, reported at the time as the largest such seizure by the U.S. government. In November 2023, Binance admitted to money-laundering-related violations and agreed to pay $4.3 billion in penalties in a case brought by U.S. Department of Justice, per reporting at the time. DOJ prosecutors also played a central role in the case against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was found guilty of seven counts including wire fraud and money laundering and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
