Lisa Monaco, the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, announced the news at the Aspen Cyber Summit.

She further added that the DOJ would also launch an initiative just to focus on civil cyber fraud.

She exclaimed, "We are launching today the national cryptocurrency enforcement team. We have already made great strides in combating the misuse of cryptocurrency platforms, and we've shown—we won't hesitate to go after those platforms that help criminals launder or hide their criminal proceeds. It is a crowded and aggressive threat landscape."
She further exclaims,"Cryptocurrency exchanges want to be the banks of the future. We need to make sure that folks can have confidence when they use these systems."

Monaco explained that the team would include a mix of cybersecurity and anti-money laundering experts who would work together to protect consumers from any online financial crime.
