Blanche Memo — Dkt 62-1

The April 7, 2025 memorandum, “Ending Regulation By Prosecution,” was filed as Dkt 62-1. It sets out Department of Justice priorities and charging considerations for digital assets.

The directive addresses regulatory violations, including Section 1960(b)(1)(A) and (B), unless there is evidence of a knowing, willful licensing or registration violation. The memo is discretionary policy, not an automatic dismissal of Burton’s case or an enforceable individual right.
