DeFi Fund Urges Trump to Halt DOJ’s Case Against Tornado Cash Developer

A DeFi education fund has written a letter to the White House, urging President Trump to intervene and stop the Department of Justice’s prosecution of Roman Storm, the developer of Tornado Cash. The group argues that this case poses significant risks to the future of crypto innovation in the US. They cite Storm’s August 2023 charges for alleged involvement in laundering over $1 billion worth of cryptocurrency through Tornado Cash. This trial is scheduled for July 2025.
