Arbitrum (ARB) Sinks 24% in a Month to Its Lowest in Four Weeks

ARB Down 24% Against Ether

The Arbitrum (ARB) price has dropped about 24% over the past 30 days, close to double the roughly 13% decline in ether across the same stretch, while Bitcoin lost about 5%. The token, the governance token of the Ethereum Layer 2 network, marked its four-week low on Saturday at $0.1638, per market data from CoinGecko, before trading near $0.167 late in that session. The single-day ledger for Saturday read Arbitrum (ARB) down about 5%, ether down about 2% and Bitcoin down about 1%.

The seven-day frame repeats the pattern in tighter form: ARB fell about 9%, against roughly 3% for ether and 1.5% for Bitcoin. Peers in the scaling trade did worse still. Optimism's OP lost about 16% both over seven days and across 30, and Polygon's POL shed roughly 17% in a month, though only about 5% in the latest week, so the broader altcoin tape tracked the majors rather than either extreme. The month's losses have also undone a zone some charts respected two weeks ago. A technical note published Oct. 14, when ARB changed hands at $0.1916, had flagged $0.183 to $0.186 as a potential retest area rather than a firm floor. By 10:02 UTC on Friday the token sat at $0.1802, under that band, and the level gave way; price kept sliding into Saturday's four-week low.

Our live composite puts the coin at $0.1645 as of moments before publication, 0.1% above the reading the newest source carried at 08:35 UTC but still down 2.8% across 24 hours. The relative strength index reads 40.48, the MACD signal is bearish and the trend grades out as a downtrend, so the tape has not repaired itself yet. The strongest support sits at $0.1470, scored 87/100 where several indicators coincide, while the highest-rated resistance stands at $0.1873 with a 95/100 score. On positioning, funding runs at 0.0046% and open interest across crypto futures is near $88.2 million, a lightly built book rather than a crowded one. A daily close above $0.1873 would be the first print to change that picture; our Arbitrum technical analysis page tracks the levels as they update.

Arbitrum One Addresses Hit 563,669

Network use has moved the other way. On-chain data shows daily active addresses on Arbitrum (ARB) One at 563,669 on Oct. 23, against 95,545 on Sept. 26, close to a sixfold rise inside a month. The series is volatile: the count fell from 571,767 on Oct. 21 to 299,959 the following day, then recovered, and addresses do not equal users. The price slide also unwinds much of September. By Sept. 18, ARB had gained more than 167% in a month to trade above $0.20 for the first time since January, had added over 147% across 90 days and ranked among the top 10 tokens outperforming Bitcoin. Tokenized real-world assets on the network touched a record above $800 million in assets under management that month, while on-chain assets climbed from $9.38 billion to $11.18 billion in four weeks. Standard Chartered's research sits behind the same story: the bank set a $0.50 year-end 2026 target and $10 for 2030 in mid-September, with Geoff Kendrick, its head of digital assets research, writing that “We see digital assets transitioning from a state where revenue is not yet relevant to one where revenue is critical.” The bank's own note conceded that Arbitrum (ARB) holders capture little of that revenue: chains in the Arbitrum Expansion Program pay 10% of net protocol revenue, with 8% to the DAO treasury and 2% to a developer guild, the split behind the recently codified developer guild rules. The program's headline customer, Robinhood Chain, saw daily fees peak at $6.04 million on Sept. 4 before sliding to $448,616 by Sept. 14. Against a $0.50 mark set six weeks ago, the ~$0.167 print the latest data captured leaves ARB needing roughly a triple.
