But in the United States, at least one victim of the federal government’s so-called “war on crypto” remains: Roman Storm, co-founder of the popular coin mixing service Tornado Cash, who is set to go on trial Monday in New York for criminal conspiracy to commit money laundering and evading U.S. sanctions.

The Cryptographic Fix for US Elections Is Still Sitting on the Shelf

In 2006, software engineer Michal Pospieszalski uncovered dangerous flaws in U.S. voting machines—flaws he says still threaten American elections today. Hired by the Election Science Institute, where he served as Chief Technology Officer, Pospieszalski was flown to the headquarters of election vendor Election Systems & Software (ES&S) in Omaha, Nebraska. His task was to analyze the company’s iVotronic voting system. For over a week, Pospieszalski uncovered a wide range of issues, including “bad code practices, backdoors, static passwords,” and most importantly, what he described as a complete lack of “end-to-end cryptographic proofs.” “The biggest thing that wasn’t there was end-to-end…

Ethereum Tracks Bitcoin, But Can ETH Break $3,000 With Retail Selling?

Ethereum’s price has climbed steadily over the past week, rising nearly 10% as institutional players continue to pour capital into the leading altcoin. This growing momentum comes amid broader optimism in the crypto market and a strengthening correlation with Bitcoin, which is itself edging closer to a new all-time high.
