[Coin Center: Trump Administration Fails to Honor Commitment Not to Prosecute Crypto Privacy Software Developers]
Odaily Planet Daily News – Coin Center Executive Director Peter Van Valkenburgh stated that the Trump administration failed to honor its commitment not to prosecute crypto privacy software developers. There is a clear contradiction between actual enforcement actions and policy statements, leaving developers facing uncertain legal risks. Currently, the U.S. Department of Justice continues to prosecute and even sentence multiple developers of privacy tools, including cases involving Bitcoin and Ethereum-related tools. Among them, Ethereum developer Roman Storm has already been partially convicted, and prosecutors are attempting to revive other charges. Coin Center warns that in the absence of "binding legal clarity," the development of privacy tools could still be held accountable due to user activities (such as money laundering), further exacerbating compliance uncertainties in the industry.
