The U.S. Department of Justice has dropped a portion of the criminal case against Roman Storm, co-founder of the crypto mixer Tornado Cash, weeks ahead of his trial set for July 14. In a letter dated May 15, Acting U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton informed Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the Southern District of New York that the government will no longer pursue part of the charge related to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Specifically, prosecutors will not proceed under Title 18 U.S. Code § 1960(b)(1)(B) — the part of Count Two of the indictment that alleges Storm failed to comply with registration requirements for money transmitting businesses. However, the DOJ confirmed that it will continue to pursue charges accusing Storm of conspiring to commit money laundering, conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and conspiring to transmit funds derived from unlawful activity under the remaining portion of Count Two. In the letter, Clayton stated: “After review of this case, this Office and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General have determined that this prosecution is consistent with the letter and spirit of theApril 7, 2025 Memorandum from the Deputy Attorney General.” That memo, authored by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, directed the DOJ to end its practice of “regulation by prosecution” in crypto cases. It emphasized the agency should not bring criminal cases for technical regulatory violations — such as failure to register — especially when platforms or developers may not be directly responsible for user activity.

Tornado Cash is a crypto mixer that anonymizes blockchain transactions, making it harder to trace stolen or sanctioned assets. It works by pooling users’ crypto deposits and redistributing them to different addresses, breaking the on-chain link between sender and recipient. Storm has pleaded not guilty and sought to have some charges dismissed, arguing they infringe on his First Amendment rights. Although his trial was previously delayed, it is now scheduled to begin this summer. A third co-founder, Alexey Pertsev, was arrested in Netherlands in 2022 on suspicion of facilitating money laundering through Tornado Cash. He was later charged and, on May 14 last year, a Dutch court found him guilty and sentenced him to five years and four months in prison. In February this year, he was released under electronic monitoring to prepare this appeal. The case has sparked a broader debate over developer liability and the legal boundaries of open-source software in crypto.

With cash use shrinking and digital payments on the rise, the European Central Bank thinks a digital euro might be needed to keep public money in play. As Europe swipes, taps, and clicks its way through daily life, the European Central Bank says old-school cash can’t keep up, and a digital euro might be the answer. In a speech at the France Payments Forum event, ECB executive board member Piero Cipollone publicly acknowledged that “in the digital age, cash alone cannot do the job.” Cipollone explained that while cash will remain available, its use has fallen as consumers increasingly turn to private digital options lately. Private payment services “are convenient, but they don’t serve all public interest objectives,” Cipollone said, adding that a digital euro “would ensure that people have a choice and don’t become dependent on a few dominant providers.” You might also like:ECB sees ‘huge potential’ in conditional payments with digital euro but without blockchain The ECB has been consistently arguing that a digital euro could help strengthen Europe’s monetary sovereignty. In late April, for instance, a senior French central banker warned that U.S. policy shifts promoting stablecoins could erode European monetary sovereignty in the absence of a digital euro. Cipollone in his recent speech noted that while a digital euro would not replace cash, it would “complement” it, ensuring that central bank money remains relevant in a digital world. He also stressed that the digital euro would be designed to protect privacy, stating that a digital euro “would never be programmable money.” The ECB would not set limits on how people could spend it, Cipollone added. Though still in the works, the ECB expects the digital euro to be accessible “at any time and for everyone,” but the exact launch date is still up in the air.
