📉 US Senator Cynthia Lummis protested the DOJ's position on cryptocurrencies, considering it contrary to current Treasury guidelines and violating the law. She is against criminalizing the use of the Bitcoin network and decentralized finance (DeFi).

The Justice Department has called for legal action against cryptocurrency entities, including accusing Tornado Cash developer, Roman Storm, of illegally transferring money.

The cryptocurrency community, led by advocacy groups such as the Coin Center, strongly opposes the DOJ's interpretation. Coin Center also filed an amicus brief in support of Storm, arguing that publishing the Tornado Cash code is protected by the First Amendment.
