Arbitrum Activity Rises, Token Lags
1. Layer-2 tokens are absorbing sharper losses than Bitcoin and Ethereum while Arbitrum's underlying activity improves. That separates speculative beta from real network demand: if addresses keep growing, the discount is a sentiment problem, not an adoption problem.
2. The supply overhang caps re-rating. Roughly 69% of the 10B total supply circulates, leaving fully diluted valuation at about 1.5x market cap. A firm dollar near 121.4 adds a macro headwind for long-duration risk assets, so the market may need sustained activity, not a single uptick, before repricing the token.
