A Message to US and EU Users

With growing regulatory pressure to eliminate privacy tools like anonymous wallets and crypto mixers, BTCMIXER faces an important decision. The United States (US) and European Union (EU) have imposed increasingly strict oversight, especially on services like CoinJoin-based Bitcoin mixers. For this reason, we must respectfully ask users from these regions to refrain from using our CoinJoin mixing service.

The regulatory environment has become highly restrictive toward blockchain privacy tools. Authorities in the US and EU are placing crypto mixers under extreme scrutiny, turning privacy protection into a legal risk. Cryptocurrency mixers have become a primary target of overregulation.

Our service is built on the principle that financial privacy is a human right. The CoinJoin protocol isn’t just technical it’s a statement of freedom. BTCMIXER proudly supports that freedom.

Crypto Mixers and Regulatory Actions

Regulatory pressure has pushed many privacy-focused services to restrict or shut down access in regulated regions. For example, Wasabi Wallet and Trezor have limited CoinJoin functions. These changes highlight the difficulty of maintaining privacy while complying with ever-tightening regulations.

More notably, the U.S. government’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeks to enforce recordkeeping and reporting on financial institutions regarding any activity involving Bitcoin mixers or CVC mixing This would require banks and services to flag and report transactions suspected of using mixers adding yet another layer of surveillance.

Such rules essentially force services like ours to either betray their privacy-first values or exit the US and EU markets entirely.

Why Crypto Mixers Can’t Adopt KYC

BTCMIXER was designed for everyday users who demand privacy. We do not collect or store personal information, and we do not implement Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. This makes compliance with new US/EU KYC demands impossible and unwanted. BTCMIXER is a crypto mixer for privacy-conscious individuals.

Complying with these regulations would mean abandoning our purpose: protecting your financial privacy. We cannot and will not compromise that mission just to remain accessible in overregulated territories.

The risks are serious. Non-compliant services may face financial penalties or even criminal charges. Cases like Samourai Wallet, Tornado Cash, Bitcoin Fog, Helix, and Blender.io serve as warnings of what may come next.

Our Message to US and EU Users

Given these developments, we cannot legally or ethically comply with KYC mandates in the US and EU. We stand by the no-KYC crypto principle, which is vital for privacy. Implementing KYC would compromise our users’ trust and the very core of what BTCMIXER stands for.

Therefore, we ask all US and EU residents to refrain from using our CoinJoin service. We do this not to exclude, but to protect your privacy and our ability to operate ethically.

To those affected, we thank you for your understanding. We hope that future regulation will respect the right to privacy and allow privacy-focused services like ours to thrive once again. Until then, please avoid using BTCMIXER if you are located in the US or EU.
