Arbitrum along with the native token ARB is facing an opportunity for a strong recovery, especially as the altcoin season has officially kicked off. The liquidity flowing into the Ethereum network is increasing, signaling a period of excitement ahead.
Arbitrum currently ranks among the top Layer 2 networks of Ethereum. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Arbitrum is in second place in the Layer 2 market capitalization rankings, only behind Mantle. In the past 24 hours, the trading volume on Arbitrum has exceeded $800 million. This positions the network favorably to capitalize on the growth momentum from Ethereum during the current altcoin season.
The latest data shows that the Arbitrum network has started to show signs of lively activity again.
Arbitrum trading activity confirms the growth momentum.
The increase in activity on the Ethereum network often leads to stronger activity on Layer 2 networks. In the past 6 months, activity on Arbitrum has doubled, accurately reflecting the overall market excitement during the same period.
The explosion of network activity is also clearly reflected in Arbitrum's application revenue. While the lowest revenue in a week in March was only about $604,000, in the past 4 weeks, this figure has consistently maintained close to $4 million/week.
Other growth indicators also show that Arbitrum is undergoing a 'revival period' in terms of activity. For instance, the stablecoin market cap on the network has increased from $1.21 billion in May 2025 to $3.9 billion currently.
The total value locked (TVL) has also recorded a strong breakout trend in recent months. From a low of $1.9 billion in April 2025, the TVL has risen to $3.92 billion, establishing a new historical peak.
ARB breaks through the support resistance – What awaits ahead?
The recovery of activity on Arbitrum seems to have begun to directly impact the native token ARB. After confirming the bottom area in June, ARB has seen significant gains. Notably, this coin has successfully broken through a 5-month resistance level that had held the price back from February to June.
The breakout occurred in the second week of August, and since then ARB has maintained a strong upward momentum. At the time of writing, ARB is trading at $0.55, up more than 100% in the past 3 months.
So, how far can ARB go in the coming months? The price chart shows that the 'cup and handle' pattern has begun forming since January 2024.
According to this pattern, ARB may be entering the second half of a bullish cycle. If the support area from March to June is indeed the bottom of the pattern, then ARB's price may soon enter a phase of strong recovery. This pattern even suggests the possibility of ARB increasing by up to 280% in the coming months, bringing the price back to the $2.25 range.
The probability of this scenario occurring is assessed to be quite high, especially as Ethereum has clearly dominated this altcoin season. Additionally, recent developments further reinforce the potential of stablecoins in driving network usage demand.
Earlier this week, the European Union (EU) revealed plans to issue a Euro-pegged stablecoin on Ethereum or Solana. If this comes to fruition, network activity could explode even further, especially as institutional money increasingly participates.
All the above factors indicate that Arbitrum could become a notable project in the coming months. The ARB token seems ready to benefit as liquidity continues to flow into other altcoins.
