PANews reported on April 17 that Unchained cited a memorandum issued by the U.S. Department of Justice on April 7, saying that the Department of Justice said it would re-evaluate its approach to compensating victims in cryptocurrency crime cases, especially the issue of paying compensation at the original price in the current context of a sharp appreciation of assets. Taking the FTX case as an example, the price of Bitcoin was $17,500 in 2022, but it exceeded $108,000 in 2025, but investors were compensated at the original price. The current regulations are based on 28 CFR § 9.8(c), which requires compensation to be paid at the value at the time of the loss to ensure procedural consistency. The Department of Justice's action may be to promote policy changes, and the specific time for improvement has not yet been determined.

It was previously reported on the 8th that the U.S. Department of Justice abolished the cryptocurrency department and Trump further relaxed the supervision of digital assets .
