It is of course plausible, but considering the sensitivity of the matter it&#8217;s better to refrain from speculation. As the saying goes: \u2018don\u2019t trust, verify\u2019,\u201d Ficsor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the bright side, we have already known that we are providing outstanding privacy for our users, but their confirmation is certainly reassuring,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Furthermore, we\u2019ve also pleasantly acknowledged that their assessment of our legal situation is coinciding with our lawyers\u2019 interpretation of various international laws, too,\u201d Ficsor said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that Wasabi will soon publish a research paper on a new privacy technique to be added to the service.<\/p>\n<p>Cypherpunk Holdings, a company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, last year invested in both Wasabi and Samourai, another bitcoin mixer service.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the investment, Cypherpunk\u2019s 4.5 percent equity stake in Wasabi valued the privacy wallet start-up at $7.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/nopara73\/Dumplings\/\">data published by Ficsor on Github<\/a>, Wasabi\u2019s coinjoin volumes have risen steadily over the last year, reaching about 50,000 bitcoins (c. $485m) in April 2020.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5444\" src=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wasabi-volumes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"992\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wasabi-volumes.jpg 992w, https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wasabi-volumes-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wasabi-volumes-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for our monthly newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leaked Europol report suggests that law enforcement bodies are struggling to deanonymise bitcoin transactions passing through Wasabi, a popular \u2018mixer\u2019 service. \u201cThings are not looking good\u201d for criminal investigations [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5443,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1013,1012,1054,1014,1011],"tags":[1407,1764,1765,1500],"class_list":{"0":"post-5445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-account","8":"category-exchange","9":"category-featured-2","10":"category-payment","11":"category-value","12":"tag-adam-ficsor","13":"tag-europol","14":"tag-mixer","15":"tag-wasabi"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
