The SEC has transferred crypto litigators involved in Ripple and Coinbase cases to the IT department
The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has reappointed Jorge Tenreiro, a crypto litigator and former deputy head of crypto assets and networks, to its Computer Systems Administration (IT) division.
Tenreiro has been with the SEC for more than 11 years. According to his LinkedIn information, he initially worked as an enforcement attorney before serving as the head of the agency's cryptocurrency enforcement division from October 2022 to November 2024. Tenreiro has been involved in multiple high-profile SEC enforcement cases against cryptocurrency companies, such as Ripple and Coinbase. Since President Donald Trump took office in 2025, the SEC has reportedly taken a less adversarial stance towards the crypto industry, thus downsizing the size of its crypto enforcement division.
