United States District Judge Margaret M. Garnett signed a court order to allow an onchain governance vote to transfer the 30,765 frozen ETH from the ArbitrumDAO to a wallet controlled by Aave LLC. The order provides explicit legal cover for ArbitrumDAO participants: any party initiating, voting on, or participating in the onchain transfer to Aave LLC is not in violation of the restraining notice served by Gerstein Harrow LLP on May 1st.

The restraining notice transfers with the assets. Aave LLC has agreed to abide by the terms of the restraining notice as if it had been issued directly to Aave LLC, until the court vacates it, the plaintiffs withdraw it, or it expires by operation of law. The judge did not rule on whether the plaintiffs actually have a valid legal claim to the funds. The order helps move the DeFi United recovery effort forward towards restoring the backing of rsETH.

The ruling clears the legal path for the transfer authorized by ArbitrumDAO's recovery vote. The approval of the Mantle DAO loan to Aave and Aave's earlier liquidation of attacker rsETH positions brings DeFi United one phase closer to completion.
