The United States Treasury Department acknowledged the legitimate use of mixers, which obfuscate crypto transfers to preserve user privacy, in its report to Congress on “Innovative Technologies to Counter Illicit Finance Involving Digital Assets.” “As consumers increase their use of digital assets for payments, individuals may want to use mixers to maintain more privacy in their consumer spending habits,” the report said.

Davide Crapis: ERC 8004 enables decentralized AI agent interactions, establishes trustless commerce, and enhances reputation systems on Ethereum

The move comes after a torrid stretch for the broader crypto market, including ether. With the rebound, $ETH is still down more than 50% from its August…
