Arbitrum
Why Arbitrum is down 4.8% today
Analysis
Arbitrum (ARB) fell 4.8% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment around the ecosystem weakened following reports that Arbitrum-based protocol AFX Trade suffered a $24 million bridge exploit, according to The Block. While a separate AMBCrypto report highlighted strong overall Ethereum L2 TVL growth led by Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, the exploit headline likely outweighed the positive network-level backdrop in the near term.
