The trial of two brothers, Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, began yesterday at New York’s SDNY courthouse. The brothers, both in their twenties, were charged in May last year with “conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.” The charges relate to a $25 million exploit of maximal extractable value (MEV) bots on Ethereum which took place in April 2023. The brothers are expected to argue that their actions were in line with the Ethereum’s “economic incentives” and all they did was “outsmart some ‘predatory’ automated trading bots,” Business Insider reports. Yesterday’s jury selection was covered by Inner City Press’ Matthew Russell Lee who will continue to live-tweet the trial.

The Ethereum price tumbled 2% in the last 24 hours to trade at $4,512 as of 4.30 a.m. EST on a 6% decrease in trading volume to $31.87 billion. This dip comes as Standard Chartered says that Ethereum treasury firms may outperform their Bitcoin rivals. The Standard Chartered report said that Ethereum treasury firms have strong growth potential, supported by ongoing network upgrades that improve scalability and usability. It added that Ethereum and Solana treasury firms have an advantage over Bitcoin because they can offer staking rewards, and said that the Bitcoin treasury market is already saturated with some 90 competitors holding  150,000 BTC, six times more BTC than at the start of the year. “We think ETH and SOL DATs should be assigned higher mNAVs than BTC DATs due to staking yield,” it said.
