Due to the impact of U.S. sanctions, Tornado has faced certain restrictions:

Some CEX exchanges have delisted $TORN. Some DEX platforms have disabled $TORN trading. Most RPC providers have implemented restrictions. These factors have increased the barriers to trading $TORN tokens and using Tornado mixers.
