Golden Finance reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reappointed Jorge Tenreiro, former deputy director of crypto assets and networking departments, to his computer system management (IT) department.
Tenreiro has worked at the SEC for more than 11 years, and according to his LinkedIn information, he started as an executive attorney before heading the agency’s cryptocurrency law enforcement from October 2022 to November 2024. Tenreiro has been involved in several high-profile SEC enforcement cases targeting cryptocurrency companies, such as Ripple and Coinbase. Since President Donald Trump took a less hostile stance on the crypto industry in 2025, it has reportedly reduced the size of its crypto law enforcement.
