U.S. Court Issues Injunction Against Arbitrum DAO Over Frozen ETH Assets

A U.S. court has issued an injunction against Arbitrum DAO, prohibiting the transfer of approximately $71 million in ETH assets frozen following the KelpDAO hacking incident, according to PANews. The plaintiffs intend to use these assets to execute unpaid judgments related to terrorism and kidnapping cases involving North Korea over the years. The court has classified Arbitrum DAO as a 'partnership organization' that can be held accountable, highlighting the emergency action capabilities of its Security Council. Members who refuse to comply may face legal consequences such as contempt of court. Market observers suggest this case could become a significant example of the U.S. judicial system directly influencing DAO governance, underscoring the compliance pressures faced by DeFi protocols.
