Crypto-privacy on the policy agenda: What comes next?
summary
Discussion focuses on Tornado Cash as a case where criminal indictments, not Congress or rulemaking, are setting policy and courts will be decisive; FinCEN guidance and the Bank Secrecy Act surface repeatedly as the operational line between custody and regulation; zero‑knowledge proofs and other tech are proposed to meet compliance while preserving privacy; centralized exchange ETF flows (about 8 of the top 14 crypto ETFs this year) and 50 state MTLs at one firm illustrate scaling pain and regulatory fragmentation; the consolidated audit trail creates a dangerous honeypot of identity‑linked transactions.
