CoinDesk published this video item, entitled “Blockchain Association CEO on Filing Amicus Brief in Coin Center Lawsuit Over Tornado Cash Sanctions” – below is their description.
The Blockchain Association has filed an amicus brief in an ongoing lawsuit by the think tank Coin Center against the Treasury Department and its sanctions watchdog, the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). In the suit, filed last October, Coin Center has alleged that OFAC’s sweeping sanctions against crypto mixer Tornado Cash harmed Americans and their ability to transact privately using the Ethereum network. Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith discusses the move and the state of U.S. crypto regulation. “OFAC can use more targeted sanctions against specific persons… [and] wallets, without sacrificing an entire class of technology,” Smith said.
