Jurors who will decide whether two brothers are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a case involving maximal extractable value (MEV) bots on the Ethereum blockchain are no closer to reaching a verdict going into the weekend. According to reporting from Inner City Press at a New York City court on Friday, the jurors in the US government’s case against Anton and James Peraire-Bueno requested additional clarification from the judge regarding the intentions behind their actions. Despite the instructions from the judge, the jurors were reportedly “having an issue reaching a unanimous verdict” in the case. The reporting suggested that the jury could find the brothers not guilty on at least one of the charges for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to receive stolen property.

Outflows from Bitcoin ETFs over the last month have been relatively small despite October's historic market crash that slashed prices by 20%. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw less than $1 billion in outflows following the historic crypto market crash in October that caused a 20% decline in BTC’s price, according to senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. The ETFs broke a six-day outflow streak on Thursday, recording about $240 million in capital inflows, Balchunas said, sharing a chart that showed net outflows of about $722 million over the past month. “Told y’all the ETF-using boomers are no joke. So who’s been selling? To quote that horror movie, ‘Ma’am, the call is coming from inside the house,’” Balchunas said. The comments refer to the 400,000 BTC sold by Bitcoin whales and long-term BTC holders, who cashed in around the $100,000 price level during October. Read more -

The DAO behind the exchange issued an onchain warning to those responsible for a major exploit: Return the funds for a bounty or face the consequences. The Balancer Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) issued an onchain notice to the wallet holder behind an exploit this week that resulted in more than $100 million in digital assets being stolen. In a Friday X post, Balancer posted a copy of the message it sent to the individual or group responsible for the incident tied to the platform’s V2 Composable Stable Pools. The decentralized exchange offered them until Saturday to return the funds in exchange for an unspecified bounty, or it would use “technical, onchain, and legal measures” to pursue matters. “We understand that affected users are awaiting further updates,” Balancer said of the exploit. “We will continue to provide information as the investigation progresses.” Read more -

Crypto stocks slid as macro fears, government shutdown jitters and lingering fallout from October's $19 billion liquidation hit investor sentiment. Shares of crypto-focused companies have tumbled this week, capping a bruising stretch for the digital asset sector marked by renewed macroeconomic fears and lingering fallout from October’s liquidity crunch and mixed corporate earnings. Coinbase (COIN), Block Inc. (XYZ) and Robinhood (HOOD) have fallen 11% to 14% this week, according to Google Finance data, erasing recent gains and underscoring the fragile sentiment surrounding crypto-linked equities. On Oct. 30, Coinbase reported stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue as it advanced its “Everything Exchange” initiative, aimed at expanding the volume and diversity of tradable assets on its platform. Yet, despite the upbeat results, shares failed to maintain momentum amid broader market pressures and declining risk appetite. Read more -

Balancer and Stream Finance incidents totaling over $200 million shook DeFi as RedStone and major Ethereum protocols launched reform initiatives. Balancer suffered one of the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) exploits on Monday, with more than $116 million in staked Ether and liquidity pool tokens drained from Balancer v2 contracts and several forks.

The exploit began with a $70 million loss, which ballooned to $116 million, primarily affecting liquid staking assets such as Lido’s wstETH and StakeWise’s osETH. Read more -

A Columbia study found that up to 60% of Polymarket’s volume may stem from wash trading, raising new concerns about artificial activity in prediction markets. The rapid growth of the prediction market Polymarket may not be entirely organic but instead inflated by artificial trading activity, according to research published by Columbia University. In an 80-page paper titled “Network-Based Detection of Wash-Trading,” which has not yet undergone peer review, Columbia researchers identified extensive wash-trading activity on Polymarket beginning in July 2024. That month, they found that wash trades accounted for nearly 60% of the platform’s total trading volume. “This activity persisted through late April 2025 before subsiding substantially, and once again increased to about 20 percent of volume in early October 2025,” they wrote.
