Crypto Daily Spotlight

Suspected Tornado Cash developer is arrested in Amsterdam.
Brief introduction: Tornado Cash is a protocol that allows users to send in some cryptocurrency using their own wallets and get it back via different addresses. It is used by some people as a legitimate way to protect their privacy in the still nascent crypto market.
Why it matters:
The Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD) of the Netherlands said it arrested a 29-year-old man in Amsterdam on suspicion of “concealing criminal financial flows” and “facilitating money laundering” through crypto mixing service Tornado Cash
The move comes days after the U.S. government sanctioned Tornado Cash for its role in enabling billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency to be laundered through its platform
Following the arrest of the alleged developer of Tornado Cash, proponents of crypto and privacy have criticised FIOD’s move, arguing that mainstream payments rails have been used for far more laundering
