Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm: Trial is expected to begin on July 14 in the Southern District Court of New York

Roman Storm, co-founder and developer of Tornado Cash, said in an interview published by Crypto In America that his U.S. criminal trial is expected to begin on July 14 in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. Storm said his legal team intends to respond to allegations that he personally profited from his tenure at Tornado Cash at the trial. However, he declined to say whether he would testify in his defense against charges of money laundering, conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitter, and conspiracy to violate U.S. sanctions.

Roman Storm's lawyers say they may ask for a brief delay in his upcoming criminal trial if the judge allows a hacker who allegedly used the platform to testify. Storm's defense team applied to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to exclude the unnamed witness because prosecutors did not reveal his identity until after an agreed-upon deadline. The witness is accused of being the perpetrator of a hacking incident and used an Ethereum mixer to launder funds to hide his whereabouts. Storm's lawyers believe the testimony could anger jurors and unfairly affect their views of the defendant. If the court rejects the motion to exclude, they reserve the right to request an extension.

The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee will discuss digital asset tax policy at a hearing on July 16

Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives will hold a "Cryptocurrency Week" event to discuss digital asset policies in depth, and the Tax Policy Committee will focus on cryptocurrency taxation. Jason Smith, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said on Wednesday that the Oversight Subcommittee will hold a hearing on July 16 to discuss positive measures to develop a digital asset tax policy framework.

Following the regulation of the cryptocurrency market and stablecoins, cryptocurrency taxation is expected to become the next major issue in Congress. There may be two legislative actions next week, including a vote by the House of Representatives on the stablecoin issuer regulation bill passed by the Senate. Currently, there is uncertainty about the taxation of cryptocurrencies in the United States, and investors have complicated calculations. Last week, Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed a new bill that proposed tax exemptions for small transactions and the elimination of double taxation. The intentions of the House of Representatives are currently unclear, but the Republican-led committee is seeking friendly policies.

DWF Labs CEO promises to release details of the crypto asset portfolio supporting the stablecoin USDf next week

Andrei Grachev, CEO of DWF Labs, promised to release details of the $630 million crypto asset portfolio supporting the stablecoin USDf next week. The stablecoin was issued by Falcon Finance and was once decoupled to $0.992 on July 7. USDf uses crypto assets and trading profits to maintain its anchor. The official website shows that its $630 million reserves support the current 550 million circulating tokens, but 96% of the assets ($607 million) are stored in off-chain custodians such as Binance, and only 4% can be verified on the chain.

Grachev revealed that 89% of the reserves are stablecoins and Bitcoin, and 11% are other cryptocurrencies. All assets are hedged through perpetual contracts. Currently, the auditing agency Harris & Trotter only publishes the amount of the custodian's holdings on a daily basis, and does not disclose the specific asset composition. Falcon said it is preparing an ISAE 3000 audit report, but the standard does not involve financial information audits. Critics question that USDf relies on illiquid assets, and concentrated selling may cause depreciation. LlamaRisk previously reported that Falcon has absolute control over reserve assets, and the market value of some collateral is too low, posing a liquidation risk. Grachev emphasized that USDf maintains anchoring through market neutral strategies and arbitrage mechanisms, and traders can conduct risk-free arbitrage when prices fluctuate.
