美国官员从批准实体清单中删除加密货币龙卷风现金

投入：美国官员在周五从一系列被认可的实体清单中删除了加密货币龙卷风现金，这是隐私拥护者和加密货币行业的重大胜利。

The US has removed crypto mixer Tornado Cash from a list of sanctioned entities, according to a notice from the Treasury Department on Friday.

根据周五财政部的通知，美国已从批准的实体清单中删除了加密货币龙卷风现金。

The move comes after a federal appeals court in New Orleans sided with Ethereum developer Preston Van Loon and five other Tornado Cash users who sued the Treasury Department.

此举是在新奥尔良的联邦上诉法院与以太坊开发商普雷斯顿·范·洛恩（Preston van Loon）和其他五名龙卷风现金用户一起起诉财政部的龙卷风。

The department had overstepped its authority by sanctioning the protocol, and the court found that the immutable smart contracts at the heart of Tornado Cash couldn’t be sanctioned.

该部门通过制裁该协议来超越了其权力，法院裁定，龙卷风现金的核心是不变的智能合约。

The Tornado Cash token, TORN, rose 60% on the news to $12.45 on Friday.

周五，龙卷风现金令牌（Torn）上涨了60％，上涨了60％，至$ 12.45。

TORN fell 70% to $9 after the Treasury Department sanctioned the protocol in August 2022, and it hit an all-time-low of $1.29 in December 2023. The token briefly hit an all time high shortly after its debut in 2021, topping $430.

财政部于2022年8月批准该协议后，撕裂下降了70％至9美元，并在2023年12月的历史时低1.29美元。代币在2021年首次亮相后不久短暂地达到了一段时间，高达430美元。

The news also comes as the U.S. ramps up efforts to counter North Korea's hacking and cyber activity.

这一消息也随着美国加大努力来应对朝鲜的黑客入侵和网络活动的努力。

"The U.S. remains deeply concerned about the significant state-sponsored hacking and money laundering campaign aimed at stealing, acquiring, and deploying digital assets for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Kim regime," the Treasury Department said in a statement.

美国财政部在一份声明中说：“美国仍然对旨在窃取，获取和部署数字资产为大韩民国（DPRK）（DPRK）和金正日政权部署数字资产的重要国家赞助的黑客入侵和洗钱运动非常关注。”

"Treasury will continue to monitor closely any transactions that may benefit malicious cyber actors or the DPRK, and U.S. persons should exercise caution before engaging in transactions that present such risks."

“财政部将继续密切监控任何可能使恶意的网络参与者或朝鲜有益的交易，美国人员应在进行这种风险的交易之前谨慎行事。”

The development marks a victory for crypto and privacy advocates, who argued that the sanctions on Tornado Cash were too broad and infringed on Americans' right to use crypto technology.

这一发展标志着加密货币和隐私拥护者的胜利，他们认为对龙卷风现金的制裁过于广泛，侵犯了美国人使用加密技术的权利。

"We won!" Neeraj Agrawal, head of communications at crypto think tank Coin Center, wrote on X. Coin Center had challenged the sanctions designation in a separate lawsuit in 2022.

“我们赢了！” Crypto智囊团硬币中心的通讯主管Neeraj Agrawal在X. Coin Center上写道，在2022年的另一项诉讼中对制裁指定提出了质疑。

However, some expressed concern over the impact on the U.S.'s ability to fight cybercrime. In a legal filing Tuesday, the Treasury itself said delisting Tornado Cash "could impair the government’s ability to disrupt" North Korea’s financing of its nuclear weapons programme with stolen crypto.

但是，一些人对美国对网络犯罪的能力的影响表示关注。在周二的法律文件中，财政部本身说，将龙卷风现金的推送“可能会损害政府破坏朝鲜”朝鲜与被盗的加密货币的核武器计划的融资。

"In a long list of horribles, this is one of the most dangerous and irresponsible things coming out of the Trump White House," wrote Representative Sean Casten, a Democrat from Illinois.

伊利诺伊州民主党人肖恩·卡斯滕（Sean Casten）代表肖恩·卡斯滕（Sean Casten）写道：“在一长串恐怖中，这是特朗普白宫最危险和最不负责任的事情之一。”

"Tornado Cash exists to make it easier to launder money. Period."

“存在龙卷风现金，以使洗钱更容易。期间。”

Meanwhile, some legal experts cautioned it wasn’t a total victory for Tornado Cash users.

同时，一些法律专家警告说，这对龙卷风现金用户来说并不是完全的胜利。

An analysis from crypto advocacy firm DeFi Education Fund noted that the Treasury department has implied it still considers Tornado Cash a sanctionable entity, as some aspects of the protocol as controlled by its developers.

加密倡导公司Defi教育基金的一项分析指出，财政部暗示它仍然认为龙卷风现金是可严格的实体，因为该协议的某些方面由其开发商控制。

"Continuing to assert that a decentralized software protocol is an entity and that developers of said protocol are themselves liable for enabling illicit activity for writing its code and making it publicly available is a flawed conclusion," DeFi Education Fund wrote in its analysis.

Defi Education Fund在其分析中写道：“继续断言，分散的软件协议是一个实体，并且所述协议的开发人员本身有可能使非法活动编写其代码并公开可用是一个缺陷的结论。”

Additionally, Treasury did not remove Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Semenov from its sanctions list, and the Department of Justice has not signalled it intends to drop its prosecution of another co-founder, Roman Storm.

此外，财政部没有从其制裁名单中删除龙卷风现金联合创始人罗马·塞梅诺夫（Roman Semenov），司法部并未表示打算放弃对另一位联合创始人罗马风暴的起诉。

Storm has been charged with three counts of conspiracy: to commit money laundering; operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business; and to violate U.S. sanctions.

风暴被指控犯有三项阴谋罪：洗钱；经营无执照的货币传递业务；并违反我们的制裁。

His trial begins in April, and faces decades in prison if he’s found guilty.

他的审判始于四月，如果他被判有罪，就面对数十年的监狱。

"Van Loon has no bearing on this case," prosecutors wrote in a filing in January.

检察官在一月份的一份文件中写道：“范·洛恩（Van Loon）与此案无关。”

"Van Loon rests on a factual conclusion that the Government not only does not dispute, but has affirmatively alleged in the Indictment: the Tornado Cash pools are immutable smart contracts."

“范·洛恩（Van Loon）基于一个事实结论，即政府不仅没有质疑，而且在起诉书中肯定地指控：龙卷风库是不可变的智能合约。”

"While we have won a big battle, the war is far from over," Storm wrote on X Friday.

“尽管我们赢得了一场大战，但战争还远远没有结束，” Storm在X星期五写道。

Tornado Cash lets users deposit Ether into a larger pool of other Ether deposits. After a user deposits their tokens from one address, they can withdraw that amount of tokens from a completely new address.

龙卷风现金使用户可以将以太存入更大的其他以太存款中。用户从一个地址存入令牌后，他们可以从一个全新的地址中撤回该数量的令牌。

That’s a useful feature for those who want to hide their crypto transactions, such as persecuted dissidents and, of course, criminals.

对于那些想隐藏加密交易的人来说，这是一个有用的功能，例如受迫害的持不同政见者，当然还有罪犯。

In 2022, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, sanctioned Tornado Cash, citing the protocol’s popularity with North Korean hackers who used it to launder stolen crypto.

2022年，财政部的外国资产控制办公室或OFAC批准了龙卷风现金，理由是该协议在朝鲜黑客中的受欢迎程度，这些朝鲜黑客将其用来洗钱。

That crypto was then used to fund the pariah nation’s nuclear weapons programme, according to U.S. officials.

据美国官员称，该加密货币随后被用来为贱民国家的核武器计划提供资金。

Van Loon and other Tornado Cash users, bankrolled by crypto exchange Coinbase, sued the Treasury Department for overstepping its authority and violating Americans’ financial freedom and their Constitutional right to free speech.

Crypto Exchange Coinbase的资助，Van Loon和其他Tornado现金用户起诉了财政部，以超过其权力并违反了美国人的财务自由及其宪法自由言论自由权。

Co-plaintiff Tyler Almeida, for example, had used the protocol to donate to Ukraine after it was invaded by Russia, fearing that his donation would otherwise draw attention from “Russian state-sponsored hacking groups,” according to the lawsuit.

例如，俄罗斯入侵乌克兰，泰勒·阿尔梅达（Tyler Almeida）被俄罗斯入侵后，曾使用该协议向乌克兰捐款，担心他的捐款否则会引起“俄罗斯国家赞助的黑客黑客群体”的关注。
