The French government has announced a ban on privacy digital assets and crypto exchanges. According to reports, the country has announced that privacy-focused tokens and platforms are illegal within the country’s jurisdiction. In a post shared by Crypto Beast on X, the move means that privacy tokens like Monero and services like Tornado Cash are all banned, marking a decisive step in France’s intensifying regulatory stance on digital assets. Mixing platform Tornado Cash has been subject to regulatory scrutiny in several jurisdictions, with the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) initiating sanctions against the platform in 2022. In the same vein, privacy tokens like Monero have been targeted by regulators globally due to their use for illicit activities. The tokens have enhanced privacy features, obscuring their transaction details from the public. While some proponents have argued that the tokens are in line with the ethos of cryptocurrency by increasing user confidentiality, critics have argued that the use of the tokens for illegal activities. Several platforms have taken steps to remove the tokens, with Binance removing them in select countries. According to the report, the recent move by France is aimed at removing all the concerns surrounding the tokens and platforms. In addition, the French government is making moves to align more closely with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines, which recommend strict oversight of digital assets that cannot be traced. Lawmakers in France have argued that total anonymity in crypto transactions poses a big risk in fighting illicit finance, tax evasion, and cybercrime. The ban also places France among some of the restrictive European jurisdictions regarding privacy-enhancing crypto technologies, potentially opening a path for other EU countries to adopt a similar approach before the bloc finalizes its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. The move could hinder the adoption and use of privacy tokens, even within regulated financial environments. With France joining the United States and other countries with a ban on the Tornado Cash mixing platform, there could be a wider international crackdown on the platforms. However, the challenge moving forward for privacy-focused developers would be navigating a crypto industry that is hostile toward complete anonymity. While privacy remains a tenet in the blockchain sector, there is without a doubt that bad actors are now taking advantage of the feature. There has been a rise in the use of digital assets for illegal activities across the globe. According to a Chainalysis report , criminals have now started turning to crypto because they feel that it is efficient, faster, and provides them the anonymity they need for their bad acts. In the report, Chainalysis mentioned that one of the reasons why criminal gangs are moving to crypto is that they are used to move funds easily with little detection. The report mentioned that many gangs are taking advantage of the ease of moving deadly products, noting the low transaction fees and instant reflection of the funds as the appeal of the assets. In addition, state-backed entities like the North Korean Lazarus groups have been using digital assets, albeit privacy platforms and tokens, to launder and move their stolen funds. There has also been a rise in kidnappers requesting payments in digital assets. According to previous reports, the father of a crypto millionaire was kidnapped , with the criminals demanding digital assets in exchange for his freedom. The group mutilated the kidnapped individual, cutting his finger as a means to pressure his crypto-millionaire son into sending the ransom. While the police were able to bust the location and free the victim, it is the third abduction connected to the crypto industry in France this year.

The Solana Foundation has announced the fixing of a potential vulnerability on the network that could have allowed for unlimited minting and withdrawal of Token-2022 coins on the network. The foundation confirmed today that it fixed the issue in April. According to the announcement , Solana software developer Anza first received a report of the vulnerability on April 16 and immediately collaborated with other major developers on the network, Jito and Firedancer, to evaluate the vulnerability report. Upon confirmation that it was a real problem, the teams worked on a patch to address the issue. The report added that blockchain security firms, such as Ottersec, Asymmetric Research, and Neodyme, also provided support and reviewed the patch before its deployment. Interestingly, the team discovered a similar bug in another part of the codebase while trying to address the initial issue and had to develop another patch to fix it as well. Despite the delay, the Solana Foundation and Anza team started reaching out to validators by April 17 and distributing the patch to them so they can upgrade. By 20:00 UTC on April 18, a supermajority of the stake had adopted the patch, allowing the Foundation to announce it publicly on Discord. The stealth approach to fixing the vulnerability has raised questions as to its potential severity for the network. According to the foundation, the bug allows anyone with the technical expertise to create arbitrary proofs that the ZK EIGamal Proof program will accept as valid. This program plays a key role in executing the Token-2022 confidential transfer as it verifies whether the zero-knowledge proofs that certify the validity of encrypted balances in transactions and accounts are correct. It said: “A sophisticated attacker could use these unhashed components to develop a forged proof of an unauthorized action that passes verification.” However, the vulnerability only affects Token-22 confidential tokens, which is a token standard that is not common on Solana. According to Coingecko , the market cap for Token-2022 coins on Solana is only $16.5 million. Still, the bug would have allowed an attacker to mint unlimited Token-2022 coins or withdraw any coin of this type from any account. Fortunately, there is no report of an exploit of the bug. Meanwhile, Solana Foundation’s decision to quietly fix the issue before announcing it publicly has sparked a debate about how decentralized Solana is. The pseudonymous founder of ETH Strategy, Cloutedmind , expressed consternation with the incident, stating: “Am i hearing this right? there was a zero-day on solana mainnet and >70% of the validators privately colluded to upgrade and patch the critical bug before it was even made public.” Some other users also appear to share a similar view, with one X account even saying that it is possible for validators to take users’ assets without their knowledge. However, many Solana stakeholders and crypto users have criticized this opinion, noting that this is how all decentralized networks operate. Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz described the surprise as absurd. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko also added that validators on Ethereum also follow the same process, even if it might take longer on Ethereum. He said: “Bro, it’s the same people to get to 70% on ethereum. All the lido validators (chorus one, p2p, etc..) binance, coinbase, and kraken. If geth needs to push a patch, I’ll be happy to coordinate for them.” Interestingly, others in the crypto community have commended Solana Foundation’s proactiveness in fixing the issue immediately after it discovered it, while one user shared a link to news of Bitcoin developers secretly fixing a bug.
