Arbitrum
Why Arbitrum is down 4.0% today
Analysis
Arbitrum (ARB) fell about 4% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment around the ecosystem weakened following reports that AFX Trade, an Arbitrum-based protocol, was hit by a $24 million bridge exploit, according to The Block (citing Blockaid). While broader coverage highlighted strong Ethereum L2 TVL growth led by Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, that positive backdrop didn’t offset the near-term impact of exploit headlines on ARB.
