CoinVoice has recently learned that Jorge Tenreiro, who served as the acting head of the cryptocurrency and cybersecurity oversight division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has been appointed as the chief litigation counsel, expanding his responsibilities. Tenreiro played a significant role in several landmark cases, including the lawsuit against Ripple Labs.

This promotion comes as the Trump administration is about to take office, signaling that the SEC will continue to strictly enforce cryptocurrency regulations. The establishment of Tenreiro's new position is expected to drive cryptocurrency innovation while continuing to focus on areas such as ICOs, token sales, and market manipulation, further influencing the legal standards for cryptocurrencies.
