dYdX confirms blocking user accounts tied to Tornado Cash

Derivatives protocol dYdX confirmed on Thursday morning that it blocked user accounts that previously interacted with Tornado Cash, in line with new US sanctions.

The exchange, though, clarified that it inaccurately banned several accounts, which had to be reversed. dYdX noted that these users hadn’t directly engaged with Tornado Cash and that they may not have known the origin of the funds transferred to them.
