Arbitrum
Why Arbitrum is down 4.4% today
Analysis
Arbitrum (ARB) fell 4.4% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment around the ecosystem weakened following news that Arbitrum-based AFX Trade was hit by a $24 million bridge exploit, according to The Block (citing Blockaid). While a separate report highlighted strong overall Ethereum L2 TVL growth with Arbitrum among the leaders, the exploit headline likely dominated near-term trading and pressured ARB.
