Dubai Court Issues Worldwide Freeze of $456 Million Tied to Justin Sun’s Stablecoin Bailout

In brief

  • The head of the Dubai Digital Economy Court ordered the continuation of a worldwide asset freeze and injunction against Aria DMCC for $456 million in assets.
  • The firm is the first defendant in a case with connections to misappropriated stablecoin reserves that were reportedly filled by Tron founder Justin Sun.
  • The asset freeze and injunction will continue until otherwise ordered by the court.

A Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) judge has ordered the continuation of an injunction and worldwide freeze of $456 million worth of assets that have a connection to Tron founder Justin Sun’s bailout of the TrueUSD stablecoin reserves. 

H.E. Justice Michael Black, the DIFC judge in charge of the Dubai Digital Economy Court (DEC), declared the order in an amended judgement on October 17. 

“I direct that the following injunctions shall remain continued until further order of the Court: a worldwide freezing injunction, prohibiting the First Defendant [Aria DMCC] from removing from Dubai any of its assets which are in Dubai up to the value of USD 456,000,000,” Black ordered. 

The judge also ordered a proprietary injunction prohibiting Aria DMCC from disposing, dealing with, or diminishing cash or assets up to the $456 million that it was transferred. 

The judgement stems from a July hearing of a case between the claimant Techteryx Ltd, and defendants Aria Commodities DMCC, Mashreq Bank PSC, Emirates NBD Bank PJSC, and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank PJSC.  

Techteryx, which acquired the TrueUSD dollar-backed stablecoin in 2020, was unable to redeem full reserve funds—which were managed by First Digital Trust—from the stablecoin between 2022-2023. 

Instead, those reserve funds had allegedly been diverted to the defendant Aria DMCC by First Digital Trust, instead of the Cayman Islands-based fund from which Techteryx was redeeming reserves. 

“Those reserves were custodied in Hong Kong and, between May 2021 and March 2022, approximately USD 468 million was purportedly invested into the Aria Commodity Finance Fund, a Cayman Islands fund,” wrote Techteryx counsel Al Tamimi & Co in a post-judgement brief. 

“In practice, USD 456 million of those sums were remitted directly to Aria Commodities DMCC in Dubai, rather than to the Cayman fund, giving rise to proprietary and personal claims including breach of trust and knowing receipt.” 

This gap in reserves was ultimately filled or “bailed out” by Sun, who is listed as an alleged ultimate beneficial owner of Techteryx in the court filings. 

The worldwide freeze order and injunction against Aria DMCC will remain in place until a further court order is provided. 

Decrypt reached out to Al Tamimi & Co for comment but did not immediately receive a reply.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…

Foreigner’s Lou Gramm Revisits The Band’s Classic ‘4’ Album, Now Reissued

The post Foreigner’s Lou Gramm Revisits The Band’s Classic ‘4’ Album, Now Reissued appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
