The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), working with the FBI, has seized more than $10 million in cryptocurrency tied to Mexico’s infamous Sinaloa cartel during recent drug raids across the country. This major seizure in Miami, Florida, shows that drug trafficking groups are changing their tactics to move and hide money while avoiding law enforcement.
The Justice Department reported this week that since January 20, 2025, the DEA has carried out large-scale operations, leading to the seizure of about 44 million fentanyl pills, 4,500 pounds of fentanyl powder, close to 65,000 pounds of methamphetamine, and more than 201,500 pounds of cocaine. According to Fox, these raids have also resulted in over 2,105 arrests related to fentanyl.
