CoinJoin mixing is a privacy-enhancing technique used in Bitcoin transactions to obscure the connection between sender and receiver. It combines multiple users’ transaction inputs into a single, large transaction. This process makes it difficult for external observers to determine which output belongs to which input. The method aims to break deterministic links on the blockchain, improving transactional anonymity.
Context

News often covers debates surrounding the legality and ethical implications of such mixing services, as regulators seek greater transparency in digital asset movements.
