People wey dey watch di mata see say e get similarity with di Tornado Cash developer case, wey show say state fit get risk to control digital platforms and di need to get clear global rules to protect free speech and crypto privacy.
Bearish
For short term, renewed worry about state pressure on digital platforms and the Tornado Cash developer prosecution fit make regulators dey check privacy-focused crypto projects like TORN more, e fit lead to people dey sell and price go dey waka anyhow. Traders fit react to possible legal wahala, make pressure dey fall on TORN price. For long term, if government dem go put stricter rules for content moderation and crypto privacy, Tornado Cash main value fit get legal gbege, e fit limit adoption and liquidity. But the higher awareness for privacy rights fit keep small small demand, but overall regulatory palava mean say TORN get bad chance.
