The US Treasury removed Tornado Cash from its sanctions list
Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm and developer Alexey Pertsev faced legal actions for developing its smart contracts; Storm's U.S. trial is set for July 2025, while Pertsev was sentenced in 2024 to 64 months in the Netherlands, then placed under house arrest in February 2025 pending appeal
The removal of Tornado Cash’s sanctions followed a November 2024 federal appeals court ruling and a January 2025 U.S. District Court order, both concluding that Tornado’s immutable smart contracts are not the property of any foreign national, and thus cannot be sanctioned under OFAC’s current authority.

Tornado Cash was originally sanctioned in August 2022 amid allegations that it facilitated the laundering of over $7 billion in illicit funds, according to the US Treasury, primarily linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group and high-profile crypto exploits
