Grewal warns that without a final court judgment, there's no assurance that Tornado Cash won't be re-sanctioned in the future.

Following the U.S. Department of Treasury’s announcement on 21 March, 2025, that it had lifted sanctions previously placed on Tornado Cash, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Office, Paul Grewal accused the Scott Bessent led department of attempting to sidestep the legal ruling.

The U.S. Treasury Department is reportedly asking a federal judge to not make a final ruling in the Tornado Cash sanctions lawsuit, drawing criticism from Coinbase's top attorney.
