A coordinated effort between the US Department of Justice and major private-sector companies — including Coinbase, SpaceX, and Meta — resulted in the freezing of $3.8 million in cryptocurrency and the disruption of 1.4 million scam-linked accounts. The initiative, dubbed 'Disruption Week,' marks a notable expansion of public-private cooperation in combating crypto-related fraud. By enlisting tech and financial platforms with direct access to user data and transaction flows, the DOJ was able to act at a scale difficult to achieve through law enforcement alone. The operation highlights growing regulatory pressure on crypto platforms to actively participate in fraud prevention, while also signalling that traditional tech firms are increasingly embedded in efforts to police digital asset misuse.
