This announcement has come as a complete surprise but in the opening paragraph it clearly states their disapproval of the manner the Biden administration (referred to as the prior administration) operated towards crypto:
However, the prior Administration used the Justice Department to pursue a reckless strategy of regulation by prosecution, which was ill conceived and poorly executed. The Justice Department will no longer pursue litigation or enforcement actions that have the effect of superimposing regulatory frameworks on digital assets while President Trump's actual regulators do this work outside the punitive criminal justice framework.The announcement might give theymos an opportunity to reconsider his ban.
