Arbitrum Jumps 26% While Bitcoin and Ethereum Fall — Robinhood Is the Reason

Arbitrum price gained 26% over 24 hours, trading near $0.1101 on Tuesday. Bitcoin (BTC) and ether slipped over the same stretch, leaving the layer 2 token to rally against a falling market.

The move followed record activity on Robinhood Chain, a network built with Arbitrum Orbit technology that sends part of its revenue back to the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Robinhood Chain Revenue Explains the Arbitrum Price Move Robinhood Chain booked $2.13 million in chain fees over 24 hours, according to DefiLlama. Chain revenue reached $1.92 million, while decentralized exchange (DEX) volume hit $1.462 billion.

Arbitrum One collected roughly $16,000 in chain fees over the same window. The Robinhood network now out-earns the chain it forked from. Under the Arbitrum Expansion Program, Orbit chains route 8% of net revenue to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% to a developer guild.
