Why Arbitrum is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
Arbitrum (ARB) slipped ~1.5% over the past hour as risk sentiment weakened following reports that Arbitrum-based AFX Trade was hit by a $24 million bridge exploit, which can pressure the ecosystem’s token on security concerns. While a separate report highlighted strong Ethereum L2 TVL led by Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, that broader positive backdrop didn’t offset the near-term negative impact from the exploit headline.
