- 92.65 million ARB tokens unlocking June 16 creates temporary bearish supply shock, increasing short‑term volatility before possible demand response.
- Arbitrum allocates 35 million ARB to tokenized U.S. Treasurys via Franklin Templeton, building DAO yield infrastructure and strong credibility.
Arbitrum (ARB) is currently priced at $0.3367, showing a modest daily gain of +2.72%, following a steep and prolonged decline. The token is down 13.60% over the past month, and a dramatic 64.53% in the last six months, contributing to a YTD loss of 53.26%.
From its all-time high of $2.40, ARB is now trading over 85% below peak value, reflecting substantial investor skepticism and persistent sell pressure across Layer 2 tokens.
Despite weak price action, the Arbitrum ecosystem remains one of the most active in Ethereum scaling solutions. The project recently approved a 35 million ARB allocation toward tokenized U.S.
Treasurys via partners like Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree, aiming to build DAO-controlled yield-generating infrastructure. Arbitrum also continues advancing its roadmap, including integration with CCTP v2.0 and hosting various community events, such as a meetup in New York on June 25.
Crucially, a major token unlock is scheduled for June 16, when 92.65 million ARB tokens (1.91% of total supply) will be released.
This event has placed temporary bearish pressure on the token as markets anticipate increased short-term supply.
From a technical standpoint, ARB is showing early signs of reversal after possibly completing a five-wave bearish impulse, and analysts are tracking the formation of a zigzag corrective wave toward the upside.
Patterns like falling wedges and symmetrical triangles suggest a coiling market that could produce a sharp bounce if $0.35–$0.38 is reclaimed. Short-term bullish targets lie in the $0.50–$0.69 range, though the macro trend remains bearish unless price decisively breaks above $1.00.
The RSI and MACD indicators are flattening near oversold levels, and trading volume is gradually increasing, which could signal accumulation.
However, sustained upside will depend on ecosystem traction, broader L2 sentiment, and post-unlock volatility management.
