Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin donated to support Tornado Cash developers. Buterin donated 30 ETH, or approximately $113,000, to support the legal defenses of Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm. Following this development, the price of Tornado Cash's native token, TORN, increased rapidly.
Support for Tornado Cash Developers from Vitalik Buterin!
According to Etherscan data, Buterin donated to the “Free Pertsev and Storm” defense fund on decentralized fundraising platform Juicebox on May 30. The fund had collected 591 ETH worth $2.2 million by press time. This donation from Buterin is not surprising, as the inventor of Ethereum is a strong advocate of crypto privacy tools and a regular user of such platforms.
Following this development, TORN price increased from $ 2.73 during the day to $ 3.17. Although it fell slightly later, it performed better compared to the calm market. At the time of writing, TORN was trading at $2.97, up 7.6% on a daily basis.
Legal Problems of Tornado Cash Developers
Last year, Tornado Cash privacy protocol developers Pertsev and Storm faced legal trouble over their association with the crypto mixer. Earlier this month, a Dutch court sentenced Pertsev to 64 months in prison for laundering approximately $1.2 billion through the Tornado Cash crypto mixer between July 2019 and August 2022. Pertsev appealed the decision to the s-Hertogenbosch Court of Appeal in the Netherlands. Similarly, Storm has been detained in the US since 2023 and his trial will be held in September.
Growing Support from the Crypto Community
Vitalik Buterin's donation has symbolic significance for Tornado Cash and its developers, as the move reflects the project's growing support within the crypto community. Last month, three blockchain advocacy groups filed amicus curiae briefs in defense of Storm and supported efforts to dismiss the charges.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY FOR A GIFT OF 10 DOLLARS.
My friends, you know that we, the publishers, are doing everything we can for you here. We are informing you about the services and facilities offered to us by our authorities. I have never stopped supporting both the Cryptocurrency market and you as much as I could, and on the contrary, I am trying to provide more support.
THIS 10 DOLLAR GIFT CAMPAIGN IS A CAMPAIGN MADE SPECIALLY FOR ME BY BINACE. YOU CAN GET CONFIRMATION ABOUT THIS BY CONTACTING LIVE HELP. THIS IS A 10 DOLLAR CAMPAIGN MADE TO YOU THROUGH ME.
Now I will tell you how to receive your gift. First of all, Binance users who have registered with someone's reference and actively use futures transactions will unfortunately not be able to benefit from this promotion.
So who will benefit?
Our friends who have not activated the futures section yet, while activating your FUTURES trading section, you will earn 10 dollars when you open it by entering my reference code 88623008.
I EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.
My brothers and sisters who have become a Binance member without reference, please listen carefully;
When you do what I say, you will receive 10 USDT.
Enter the Futures Section from your application,
On the next screen, open your account by entering the code 88623008 in the REFERENCE CODE section,
My brothers and sisters who want to complete this transaction and receive the 10 USDT reward by MAY 1 can do so. After activating your account, all you have to do is open your first futures transaction.
The first 1,000 brothers to open a 200 USDT transaction by MAY 1 will receive a 10 USDT reward.
So let me give you a tactic like this: Even if you open and close 20x with a $5 transaction, you will be entitled to the reward.
However, even if you do this after May 1, your reward will not come. So get it done by May 1st. In fact, right now I say you can fix it in 5 seconds.
Very simple. Go to Futures, enter my reference code 88623008 and activate the account. Afterwards, just open a total of 200 USDT transactions and get 10 USDT reward.
WHEN WILL THE AWARD COME?
Your 10 dollar reward will arrive in the REWARDS section of your Binance application within 30 days, starting from May 1st. By activating it from there, you can use your reward of 10 dollars, or more than 300 liras, in futures transactions.
You can help your friends in need by sharing this post.
BY THE WAY, MY BROTHERS, PLEASE DON'T MISS YOUR LIKES. EVERY SHARE IS FOR YOU. SO DON'T WITHHOLD YOUR SUPPORT. IF YOU HAVE NOT FOLLOWED YET, DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW. KIND REGARDS.
