More than $10 million in cryptocurrency tied to the Sinaloa cartel was seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during an operation in Miami.

According to a July 15 press release by the Department of Justice, this confiscation is part of a nationwide investigation that began in January 2025.

Since then, authorities have taken 44 million fentanyl pills, 4,500 pounds of fentanyl powder, nearly 65,000 pounds of methamphetamine, and over 201,500 pounds of cocaine off the streets.

Acting DEA Administrator Robert Murphy said:

DEA is hitting the cartels where it hurts, with arrests, with seizures, and with relentless pressure. “We are dismantling these networks piece by piece, and we won’t stop until the last brick of their empire falls.

The Sinaloa cartel is one of six Mexican organizations the US has labeled as a global terrorist group. It is involved in trafficking cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, cannabis, and MDMA.

Recent raids highlight the scale and creativity of the cartel’s smuggling operations, according to the press release.

In Georgia, authorities discovered over 700 pounds of meth hidden in a shipment of cucumbers. In Texas, officers found 1,700 pounds of meth, valued at around $15 million, concealed inside a vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Global Investigative Operations Center (GIOC), a division of the US Secret Service, has recovered nearly $400 million in cryptocurrency over the past ten years. How? Read the full story.

“We are excited to announce that the Consensus conference will be coming to Miami in 2026,” said Michael Lau, Consensus Chairman.
