first_img The U.S. Department of Justice cites the Bitcoin Fog ruling to oppose Roman Storm's motion for acquittal

U.S. federal prosecutors cited the appellate ruling related to the cryptocurrency mixer Bitcoin Fog as a supplementary basis against the not guilty motion of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm. In documents submitted on Monday, the prosecution referenced the September 25 ruling by the appellate court that upheld the conviction and sentencing of Bitcoin Fog operator Roman Sterlingov. The District of Columbia Circuit Court found that Washington, D.C. had jurisdiction over all four charges: the money laundering charge was based on undercover agents completing Bitcoin Fog transactions in its D.C. office, while the unlicensed money transmission charge was supported by sufficient evidence showing that Bitcoin Fog had served clients in the area.The prosecution stated that the ruling "directly supports" its position in the Storm case, arguing that Tornado Cash's activities in Manhattan were sufficient to establish jurisdiction in the Southern District of New York for the conspiracy charges of money laundering and unlicensed money transmission against Storm, citing the testimony of Shakeeb Ahmed, who claimed to have used Tornado Cash in a Manhattan apartment. Judge Katherine Polk Failla has heard the arguments for the not guilty motion in April 2026 but has yet to rule. In August 2025, the jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission business, but deadlocked on the charges of money laundering and conspiracy to evade sanctions; Storm submitted a post-trial not guilty motion in September 2025, arguing that the prosecution failed to prove he intended to assist criminals in abusing Tornado Cash.

Hyperliquid Founder: HIP-3 once accounted for 51% of the platform's trading volume, and the Pre-IPO and other markets are expanding access to financial asset trading

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan stated in a discussion at TOKEN2049 in Singapore that in July this year, the HIP-3 market contributed about 51% of Hyperliquid's trading volume at one point, reflecting a significant product-market fit in the related market. He mentioned that users are willing to migrate from existing financial products and try new on-chain markets, indicating a substantial gap in product supply previously and demonstrating users' trust in the execution capabilities of the relevant deployers.The discussion mentioned that perpetual contracts for real-world assets such as crude oil and Pre-IPO have become important application directions for HIP-3. Jeff Yan noted that one of the more concerning changes over the past year is that more markets are allowing users to participate in trading opportunities that were previously inaccessible. He believes that in traditional finance, some assets are often only accessible to a few people in the early stages, and by the time they are open to the public, the main growth phase may have already been captured by a few with access advantages. The financial system should be as open as possible to a broader range of users.Jeff Yan also stated that Hyperliquid hopes to become an open protocol and infrastructure for various financial products and applications rather than directly competing with front-end platforms. Builder Codes allow developers to create mobile applications, institutional trading terminals, and other products without having to build their own underlying systems for matching, clearing, etc., and directly connect to Hyperliquid's market and liquidity. He said, "No one is competing with the internet," and Hyperliquid is similarly more like a layer of infrastructure that can be adopted by different companies.
