Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Backs Convicted Dev, Calls Privacy 'Essential Protection'

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has thrown his public support behind Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm—who was convicted last August of a money transmitting charge—arguing that privacy-preserving software is a fundamental human right, and that Storm’s work should not be criminalized simply because it can be misused. “I have supported Roman Storm's work from the beginning both as a strong believer in the importance of privacy, and as an active user of privacy tools, including those developed...

Ethereum Mixer Tornado Cash Has Received Almost $2 Billion in 2024 Despite Sanctions

In the first six months of 2024, more than $1.9 billion has been deposited onto Ethereum mixer Tornado Cash (TORN). Although things have slowed down in July—the protocol has seemingly attracted only $65.1 million worth of deposits, according to data provided by crypto analytics service Flipside. Given Tornado Cash’s nature as a mixer, the total value locked (TVL) metric used for judging an ecosystem’s activity level is not as reliable. Total value locked refers the the value of assets that have...

US Treasury 'Bending Old Laws Past Their Breaking Point' in Tornado Cash Case: Coinbase

Paul Grewal, Coinbase's chief legal officer, said Monday night that the U.S. Treasury is "bending old laws past their breaking point" in its quest to sanction Ethereum mixer protocol Tornado Cash. A cryptocurrency mixer obscures the sender and receiver of a transaction, affording people who use public blockchains some privacy. But regulators have decided that the developers and holders of the TORN governance token bear responsibility if and when the mixers have been used to transfer illicit fund...
