The U.S. on Monday announced sanctions on coin mixer Tornado Cash, barring U.S. individuals and entities from engaging in any transactions with it.

Celebrities who have received ether through the mixer include cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, TV host Jimmy Fallon, sports brand Puma, a wallet created for Ukrainian donations, artist Beeple, comedian Dave Chappelle, and more.
