Arbitrum’s native token ARB has staged one of its strongest rallies of 2025, climbing roughly 175% from its yearly low to trade near $0.1950—its highest level since January. The breakout follows months of consolidation between support at $0.0708 and resistance at $0.1017, and has been powered by a surge in activity on Robinhood Chain, a specialized chain built on the Arbitrum Orbit framework.
As part of the arrangement, chains using Arbitrum’s stack return 10% of net chain profit to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Robinhood Chain generated approximately $3.5 million in fees in July at launch, $6.65 million in August, and more than $21 million so far in September, according to data cited by Invezz. The Arbitrum Foundation has already collected over $2.1 million this month, up from about $710,000 in August. U.Today reported Robinhood Chain surpassed $2 million in 24-hour transaction revenue, which would annualize to about $73 million for Arbitrum’s share if sustained.
Arbitrum’s broader fundamentals have also improved. Its total value locked in real-world asset tokenization crossed $1 billion, with roughly 9,600 accounts, while ARB’s 24-hour trading volume jumped to over $982 million. Separate ecosystem metrics underline the revenue shift: Arbitrum networks processed 478 million transactions in the first half of 2025, average monthly stablecoin transfer volume surpassed $70 billion, and ArbitrumDAO earned $6.19 million during that period. In July, Robinhood Chain’s first month on mainnet, Expansion Program license fees accounted for 35% of DAO revenue.
However, technical indicators show the rally is stretched. The Relative Strength Index has risen to about 85, well into overbought territory, and the token has moved far above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Futures open interest in ARB also increased about 30% since August 31, amplifying leverage in an already expanding spot market. Analysts note that holding the $0.17–$0.18 zone could preserve the breakout, while a deeper retracement could emerge after the rapid advance, with $0.1491 cited as a key support level.
