Tornado Cash processed 968 deposits on July 23, 2026, its busiest day of the year, with 29,573 ETH (approximately $57.2 million) deposited across 110 addresses. Most of these inflows came from a single address linked to the Drift Protocol exploiter, which made 245 deposits totaling 23,095 ETH (approximately $44.4 million) in under two hours. This address is connected to the $285 million hack of Drift Protocol in April 2026, attributed by blockchain forensics firms to a North Korea-linked cluster. Tornado Cash usage has rebounded since the U.S. Treasury lifted sanctions in March 2025, with the mixer capturing over 20% of crypto mixing volume in 2026.
