I was unaware of what was happening to Tornado Cash until I read the OP. This is an interesting read about what happened to the TORN price after the news about the court overruling the original sanctions against Tornado Cash: TORN price soars 170% after court overturned Tornado Cash sanctions
Torn price increase more than 300% to almost 400%. The price increased from $7.6 to $27.4 before it fell to $15.

The sanction was on mixers generally if I am not mistaken but more focus on Decentralised Mixers . In the link provided Tornado cash was sanctioned on August 8, 2022 by the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control but as at yesterday being the January 21, 2025 the federal court for the western district of Texas reversed the sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) against Tornado Cash.

 In the case of theymos mixers from what I read was used for both centralised and decentralised
Theymos allows Coinjoin sites signature campaigns. I could remember that Wasabi signature campaign was allowed at the time. It was Wasabi that later left and not a ban.
