Roman Storm, a developer of the Tornado Cash privacy-preserving protocol, asked the open source software community whether they are concerned with being retroactively prosecuted by the US Department of Justice for developing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Storm asked DeFi developers: “How can you be so sure you won’t be charged by the DOJ as a money service business for building a non-custodial protocol?” The DOJ could prosecute a case, arguing that any decentralized, non-custodial service should have been developed as a custodial service, as it did in the case against him, Storm added, citing his recent motion for acquittal, which…

The crypto market’s two titans, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), continue to dominate investor attention as both assets post impressive gains in 2025. Yet, their paths differ in key ways that could define the next phase of digital asset growth heading into 2026. Why Ethereum? Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin in 2025, rising 30% year-to-date compared to Bitcoin’s 25% gain.
