Why Arbitrum is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Arbitrum (ARB) slipped 1.1% over the past hour as risk sentiment weakened following reports that AFX Trade, a protocol on Arbitrum, was hit by a $24 million bridge exploit, which can pressure the broader ecosystem token on security concerns. While a separate report highlighted strong growth in Ethereum L2 TVL led by Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, that constructive backdrop didn’t offset the immediate negative impact of the exploit headline.
