TechFlame News: According to The Block, the Solana Policy Institute stated that the criminal case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm is "not an isolated dispute" and called on U.S. legislative bodies to establish a clearer legal protection framework for software developers.
The institute noted that the related case has become a critical juncture to test whether the United States still supports open innovation. Although the case has not been dismissed, there is still hope before sentencing is determined. It described the case as the "greatest regulatory and even criminal uncertainty" currently facing the U.S. crypto ecosystem.
