The RWA (real-world assets) market on Arbitrum is booming, driving a strong price increase for this altcoin. According to data from Messari and Entropy Advisors, the total value of locked crypto assets (TVL) on Arbitrum has surpassed 310 million USD in the past week.
This figure is 30 times higher than in July 2024, indicating that both institutional investors and on-chain users are turning to Arbitrum not just for low transaction fees or to speculate on memecoins anymore. At the same time, the price of ARB has increased by 25%.
At the time of writing, ARB is trading at 0.4 USD – just above an important Fibonacci level and approaching a strong resistance level at 0.516 USD.
Tokenized assets are becoming a key factor in attracting users to Arbitrum
Many participants in the ecosystem have mentioned the rapid development of Arbitrum in the tokenized asset sector – including US Treasury bonds, stocks, ETFs, and tokenized real estate. Projects like OpenEder, Spiko, and Ondo are leading this trend.
A post from market analyst CryptoBusy highlights that RWA on Arbitrum is 'surging', while analyst ArbitrumKano noted that the TVL of RWA on Arbitrum has risen from nearly zero to 310 million USD in just one year.
The number of holders remains high
Despite significant price fluctuations, the number of ARB holders continues to rise. According to data from Santiment, the total number of wallets holding ARB has exceeded 2.03 million addresses. Despite a slight dip in recent days, the overall trend on the chart remains very strong.
This stable uptrend has continued since the beginning of 2025, even though the price has not shown clear fluctuations, indicating sustained interest from individual wallets.
This reflects long-term confidence in this asset and often indicates that underlying demand is strong. Although some holders took profits in May and June, the curve of the number of wallets is rising again – showing that confidence in ARB remains intact.
ARB futures contracts are surging
Alongside the wave of tokenization, the futures market is also heating up. Data from CoinGlass shows that open interest in Arbitrum's futures market is bouncing back.
After several months of stagnation, traders have begun to increase their exposure to ARB – possibly betting on the price surpassing 0.42 USD.
OI is an indicator that measures the number of futures contracts that have not been settled. When this indicator rises alongside the price, it indicates that traders are opening long positions and expecting further price increases. If OI continues to rise alongside price, this could push ARB closer to the next resistance level.
The Fibonacci chart shows that 0.5160 USD is a key level
From a technical perspective, the price of Arbitrum is bouncing from a fairly clear Fibonacci structure. The bottom level around 0.2525 USD (early June) and the top around 0.5160 USD (in May) show us significant retracement levels.
Currently, the price has surpassed the 0.618 Fib level at 0.4116 USD – this is a positive signal. If the uptrend continues, the next levels could be 0.45 USD (0.786 level) and then 0.5160 USD.
The Fibonacci retracement level is a technical analysis tool that helps identify potential support and resistance areas based on special ratios like 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618. These levels are closely monitored by traders to find breakout points or take profits. If the 0.45 USD mark is broken, ARB's price could fully recover after a strong correction in May.
Although the macro market context remains volatile, the boom in the RWA sector, the high number of holders, and solid technical fundamentals are creating strong momentum for Arbitrum. However, this bullish scenario will be invalidated if the price drops below the support zone at 0.352 USD (Fib 0.382) and further down to 0.3147 USD – two levels that had held firm during the accumulation phase in June.
