Arbitrum price gained nearly 8% over the past 24 hours, reaching a session low of $0.09568 before buyers stepped back in and pushed the token to a high of $0.1127. Trading volume also jumped by more than 23% alongside the move, confirming real participation.
Arbitrum coin is catching a bid at a moment when the narrative has shifted from speculative recovery to something with actual on-chain substance behind it.
Arbitrum Hits Activity Records as Robinhood Chain Goes Live
The most immediate catalyst traders are watching is Robinhood Chain’s testnet going live on Arbitrum. The build targets self-custodial stocks and ETFs, 24/7 trading, and new DeFi and RWA primitives, which position Arbitrum not just as a general-purpose rollup but as infrastructure for regulated financial products. That’s a different conversation from where the network stood twelve months ago.
On top of that, Artemis data shows that Arbitrum hit an all-time high in monthly transactions during February, 15% above any prior month.
With only 25 days of data captured, despite the network having doubled its base fee in January to filter spam. Transaction growth has nearly doubled year-over-year, and usage records achieved under higher fees tend to carry more weight with traders who track fundamentals.
Furthermore, stablecoin supply on Arbitrum scaled from $749,700 at launch in August 2021 to $7.8 billion by end-2025, peaking at $9.6 billion in September. Active stablecoin addresses went from 58 to 2.1 million.
Token Terminal data separately identifies Arbitrum as the leading chain for tokenized stocks by market cap, as real-world assets continue migrating on-chain.
ARB Price Eyes Major Trendline Resistance
Crypto analyst World of Charts flagged that ARB coin is breaking a descending counter-trend line that had capped prices for much of the past year. Their read is that a clean breakout puts a move toward the major trendline back in play.
The compression came from a wedge structure that tightened the Arbitrum price before this week’s expansion. Volume confirmation through the session close is what matters now; a breakout on thin volume doesn’t hold.
For the ARB price prediction, the setup hinges on whether the coin can defend the broken counter-trend line on a retest. The $0.09568 session low functions as near-term support.
With transaction records, Robinhood Chain coming to the network, and a stablecoin ecosystem that has scaled 12,800x since launch, the Arbitrum crypto case for continued recovery is backed by network data that most Layer 2s cannot match at the moment.
