Railgun researchers say U.S. senators and congressmen have no issues with cryptocurrency privacy.

Railgun researchers say U.S. regulators and prosecutors have not launched a campaign against cryptocurrency privacy protocols and are generally positive and genuinely interested in understanding developments in the broader cryptocurrency market.

Railgun researcher and advocate Alan Scott Jr recently reported that U.S. senators and intelligence agencies are not opposed to privacy-focused encryption protocols. These comments come after US agencies recently implemented a tough crackdown on several privacy platforms and cryptocurrency mixers.

Speaking at ETH Global in Sydney on Thursday May 2, Scott said he had recently spoken to senators and the FBI in Washington DC. But he didn’t find any hints of a cryptocurrency movement on Capitol Hill. Scott also added that he has some people in the senior administration who are “generally smart, want to do the right thing, and protect people.”

Railgun, a privacy-focused protocol, leverages smart contracts to ensure private transactions for DeFi users on the Ethereum blockchain, as well as on Layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum and Polygon.

However, many people view Railgun through the same lens they view other crypto privacy protocols like Tornado Cash. Last month, on April 17, an account identified as the official Railgun account refuted accusations that it had been hired by North Korea and US-sanctioned entities to launder illegally obtained cryptocurrencies. This rebuttal is in response to an FBI statement claiming that Railgun was utilized to launder more than $60 million in Ethereum (ETH) during the 2022 Harmony Bridge attack.

Railgun claimed that its anti-zk technology and “personal proof of innocence” system are effective safeguards against malicious actors using the protocol for illicit purposes. Scott said the FBI is a large organization that is more concerned about bad actors trying to commit financial crimes than concerns about privacy protocols. He added:

“Their concerns are potential problems that would hinder our ability to catch bad actors. “It’s a good thing for them to worry about.”

Scott added that he has also spoken with several U.S. regulators and prosecutors who are positive and genuinely interested in understanding developments in the broader cryptocurrency market. “Every time we talk about cryptocurrencies or talk about DeFi, they ask informed questions and try to understand what the technology is, how it works, and why people like us like it so much.” he said

On April 24, the Justice Department arrested the cryptocurrency mixer and co-founder of Bitcoin wallet Samourai Wallet on charges of money laundering. The DoJ alleged that Samourai processed $2 billion in illicit transactions and facilitated $100 million in money laundering transactions.

Scott said that despite these actions against developers of cryptocurrency mixers like Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet, there has been no campaign against privacy protocols in the broader cryptocurrency space.

“What (Railgun} is building is the disintermediation of finance, and DeFi is such a beautiful and incredibly important thing. Privacy is a core part of that, so we’re championing it and talking loudly about privacy. While you’re at it, the thing is, it’s completely normal and actually quite boring,” Scott said. “It’s already part of traditional finance that exists today.”
