Arbitrum, Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling solution, sees a significant surge in daily transactions, reaching two million. This milestone, coupled with its recent Giga-update, positions Arbitrum for a potential mega rally.
Arbitrum Hits Two Million Daily Transactions
According to data from crypto analytics service provider IntoTheBlock (ITB), Arbitrum’s daily transactions have reached a remarkable two million as of May 8. Since March, Arbitrum has consistently hit an average of one million transactions per day, demonstrating its user-friendly nature compared to its peers. This significant surge in transactions has been a gradual buildup over time.
Arbitrum’s Giga-Update Enhances Functionality
The recent milestone comes at a time when the protocol announced its Stylus MultiVM protocol has achieved a new update. Known as the Giga-update, this upgrade aims to reduce transaction fees by 2 to 4x, improving safety, contract size compression, and better tooling. This update further enhances Arbitrum’s functionality, making it a unique player in the Ethereum L2 ecosystem.
Arbitrum’s Market Resilience Amid Bearish Sentiment
In mid-March, as many as 1.6 billion ARB tokens flooded the market. Despite the bearish sentiment at the time, the tokens showcased resilience. Currently, Arbitrum is trading at $1.02, up marginally by 0.17%. Top market analyst Ali Martinez suggests that the TD Sequential indicator presents a buy signal on the Arbitrum weekly chart, hinting at a potential rebound for ARB in the near term.
Conclusion
While it remains unclear how ARB will react to the bullish updates within its ecosystem, one thing is clear: the user count is growing, the network is becoming more efficient, and the demand for ARB is set to increase in the long term. This trend positions ARB for a potential mega rally soon, making it a promising prospect in the crypto market.
