zkSNACKs: US users will be banned from using Wasabi Wallet indefinitely
Golden Finance reports that zkSNACKs, the developer of the privacy-enhanced Bitcoin wallet Wasabi Wallet, announced today that users from the United States will be banned from using its products indefinitely. The decision was likely triggered by the arrest of the founder of Samourai Wallet. According to the company's announcement, users in the United States and related territories are now blocked through an IP address firewall and "cannot access its website, download and use Wasabi Wallet and any related products and services, including APIs and RPC interfaces." The announcement cited "recent statements issued by US authorities" as the reason.
