<section>
 <p>Tornado Cash was officially removed from the <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20250321" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">OFAC sanctions list</a> on March 21, 2025, by the U.S. Treasury Department. This action followed a court ruling against the sanctions imposed earlier on smart contracts.</p>

 <p>The delisting of Tornado Cash from the OFAC sanctions list marks a vital moment for both decentralized finance and privacy technologies, sparking a significant market reaction.</p>
</section>
<section>
 <p>The U.S. Treasury removed Tornado Cash from its Specially Designated Nationals list, including several Ethereum wallet addresses. This move follows a federal order after a <a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/us-treasury-removes-tornado-cash-from-ofac-sanctions-list" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">court ruling</a> against previously imposed sanctions.</p>
 <blockquote>
  "The OFAC exceeded its authority by designating Tornado Cash's immutable smart contracts." - U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
 </blockquote>
 <p>Court findings indicated OFAC overstepped by targeting immutable smart contracts. Such actions have significant implications for the enforcement approach to blockchain-based applications. Federal compliance with the court's decision involved necessary legal reversals.</p>
 <p>Market reaction was immediate, with Tornado Cash's native token, TORN, experiencing a surge of up to 73%. Privacy-focused technologies within decentralized finance see a revived interest benefiting from this delisting. However, concerns remain over state-sponsored hacking.</p>
 <p>While Tornado Cash protocol has been freed from restrictions, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/tornado-cash-founders-charged-money-laundering-and-sanctions-violations" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sanctions persist for its founder</a>, Roman Semenov. His designation excludes cyber activities but retains a North Korea-related tag. The Treasury asserts its ongoing vigilance against illicit financial activities.</p>
 <p>This case signifies potential shifts in regulatory approaches, emphasizing the complexity of enforcing rules on decentralized technologies. The <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0057" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">court ruling</a> may set a precedent, influencing how technology and law interact within the crypto sphere.</p>
