What to know:
- Robinhood listed Arbitrum (ARB), leading to a 12% rise in its price to $0.42, though it had slumped to $0.35 earlier in the week.
- Trading volume increased by 10% to $400 million.
- Token performance has been muted over the past year due to supply increasing from 1.5 billion to 4.4 billion.
U.S.-based trading app Robinhood (HOOD) listed arbitrum (ARB) on Wednesday, leading to a 12% rise in the layer 2 network's native token.
ARB is currently trading at $0.42 having slumped to an all-time low of $0.35 on Tuesday. Trading volume is also up by 10% to $400 million over the past 24 hours.
Total value locked (TVL) has remained steady on Arbitrum of late, standing at $2.8 billion having risen from $2.5 billion at the start of November, according to DefiLlama.
But that relative success has not equated to success in terms of token price, with ARB now 82% down from 2024's record high of $2.41.
This is partly due to token emissions; since March 2024 circulating supply has increased from 1.5 billion to 4.4 billion, which means that the market cap has remained more stable than the price itself. Market cap is worked out by multiplying circulating supply with asset price.
ARB was not the only token to be listed on Robinhood, it joins XRP, shiba inu (SHIB), and , all of which rose between 4.5% and 7% on Wednesday.

XRP, meanwhile, despite being named in Donald Trump's U.S. strategic reserve plans, has just $80 million locked up in its solitary XRPL decentralized exchange, while SHIB and BONK and retail-focused memecoins.
