Arbitrum News: Ecological development accelerates Internet popularization

Arbitrum dynamics: ARB prices fluctuate in response to RWA's market value exceeding $900 million.

This week's Arbitrum news covers the milestone of real-world assets (RWA) market value reaching $900 million, new data from Robinhood Chain, Shopify's new payments integration, and Arbitrum's continued leadership in L2 lending and payment volumes.

Official Details

The total RWA market value of the Arbitrum One network has reached US$900 million. Robinhood Chain, an L2 network built based on Arbitrum technology for tokenized stock trading, was launched on the main network on July 1, 2026. It currently has 329,000 RWA holders, with a total revenue of US$3.3 million, and the cumulative transaction volume of Uniswap reached US$8.3 billion.

Shopify now supports USDC payments through Shopify Payments on Arbitrum One, and eligible merchants can accept USDC directly at checkout. This allows Arbitrum One to join Ethereum L1, Optimism and Polygon as one of the networks supporting USDC, with specific availability varying depending on the merchant's region.

According to Arbitrum's weekly review, Arbitrum One is the L2 network with the highest borrowing and borrowing volume on Aave v3. Aave v3 is a leading decentralized lending protocol deployed across multiple blockchains, with a total locked position value (TVL) of US$728 million on Arbitrum One, leading all other L2 networks running Aave.

According to data from KoloHub, a platform that tracks blockchain payments, Arbitrum One became the network with the highest amount of L2 payments in July, with monthly payments processed through its channel reaching $13.7 million, surpassing other L2 networks tracked that month.

ARB price after the announcement

According to CoinMarketCap data, as of the time of writing, the ARB trading price of Arbitrum's native token was approximately US$0.07802. Prices have risen 2.52% in the past 24 hours, but 24-hour trading volume has dropped 13.29% to US$34.41 million, indicating a rebound in buying activity in the short term. The market value is close to US$516.27 million.

Stretch the time to a full week, and the situation is different: ARB has fallen 6.04% in the past seven days. Weekly charts show that the token fell from a high of about $0.083 at the beginning of the week to a low of about $0.075, and then rebounded to its current level close to $0.078. This trend suggests that the token has been falling for most of the week and has only stabilized in the last 24 hours, around this week's Arbitrum news update.

It is worth noting that the price of the ARB reflects the token itself and is not related to the US$900 million RWA data or Robinhood Chain's revenue figures, which measure network activity rather than the market value of the token.

Market Impact

This week's Arbitrum news shows two aspects that are not always growing in sync: network-level adoption and token prices. RWA's growth, Robinhood Chain's data, Shopify's integration and Aave's leading lending position all indicate that more and more activities are being built on the network. However, the price of ARB has remained declining this week, despite a rebound in the last 24 hours, reminding us that network usage and token prices do not always move in sync in the short term.
