This marks a turning point in his ongoing legal battle, with the crypto community celebrating his return, coinciding with a notable rise in the price of TORN, which spiked by more than 15%.<\/p>\n<p>Pertsev, who was detained in 2024 on charges related to money laundering via Tornado Cash, views his release as a crucial step in continuing his fight for justice. Though the conditions are restrictive, Pertsev expressed optimism about using this time to focus on his appeal. Support from the community, including prominent figures such as Ethereum&#8217;s Vitalik Buterin, has been vocal, underscoring the importance of the case for developers in the crypto space.<\/p>\n<p>The legal case stems from Pertsev&#8217;s involvement with Tornado Cash, a decentralized platform that allows for anonymous transactions. In 2022, he was arrested for failing to prevent illicit use of the service, leading to a five-year sentence. However, his ongoing appeal, along with a recent favorable ruling from a U.S. court against sanctions on Tornado Cash, has reinvigorated his supporters&#8217; push for justice.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/coinbase-to-introduce-futures-trading-for-new-trending-altcoin\/\" title=\"Coinbase to Introduce Futures Trading for New Trending Altcoin\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/coinbase-8-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Coinbase to Introduce Futures Trading for New Trending Altcoin<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pertsev\u2019s release has had a direct effect on TORN&#8217;s market performance.
