The choice of a loyalist over a career prosecutor signals potential deprioritization of crypto enforcement under Trump 2.0, contrasting with Biden's aggressive DOJ stance.

Long-term, it reinforces that regulatory risk is more about political theater than substantive action during election cycles.

Trump announced the nomination of Blanche for attorney general on a permanent basis.
