Robinhood Chain adding a new revenue stream was the specific trigger named in the post.

A widely shared thread argued Robinhood Chain generated $1.92M in revenue over 24 hours, up sharply from $963K the day before, and that Arbitrum's licensing model entitles it to 10% of that net revenue, roughly $192K a day at that run rate.
Robinhood Chain is reportedly doing $1.56B in weekly DEX volume with TVL near $738.5M.
The post noted $ARB is still about 95% below its 2024 all-time high, framing the token as newly tied to an external revenue source rather than pure speculation.

Trader Scott Melker (The Wolf of All Streets) flagged that tokenized stocks running on Arbitrum just hit a fresh all-time high of $200M in market cap, adding another growth narrative to the rally beyond the Robinhood Chain headline.

Coinglass data shows the rally hit short sellers hard.
Over the past 24 hours, total $ARB liquidations reached $3.83M, with shorts accounting for $2.58M of that against $1.25M in longs.
The imbalance is sharper on shorter windows: in the last 4 hours, short liquidations ran $719.72K versus just $205.60K in longs, and over 12 hours shorts lost $1.14M against $411.79K for longs.
That pattern points to a short squeeze fueling part of the move, with Binance ($340.32M) and OKX ($257.24M) carrying the bulk of Arbitrum futures volume.
The next scheduled Arbitrum token unlock lands on September 16, 2026, releasing 92.63M $ARB, about 0.93% of max supply and roughly $11.86M at current prices (1.39% of market cap).
The unlock splits between Team & Advisors (+2.08%, 56.12M tokens) and Investors (+2.08%, 36.51M tokens).
Around 50.7% of total $ARB supply is unlocked so far, leaving 5.17B $ARB, worth roughly $661.46M, still to be released over time.
Traders watching this ARB price prediction should treat mid-September as a period where added supply could test the rally's strength.

Arbitrum Price Today is $0.12809. $ARB spent most of the year in a downtrend that bottomed out in the $0.06 to $0.08 zone before breaking sharply higher in early September.
Price is now well clear of both EMA 20 at $0.09778 and EMA 50 at $0.09054, both acting as trailing support rather than resistance.
The old consolidation zone near $0.10004 is now the first level buyers would need to defend on a pullback.
| Level Type | Price |
| Resistance 3 | $0.22025 |
| Resistance 2 | $0.17132 |
| Resistance 1 | $0.14015 |
| Current Price | $0.12809 |
| Support | $0.11987 |
| Support | $0.10004 |
Bull case: Holding above the $0.10004 support and staying clear of the EMA cluster near $0.09778 to $0.09054 keeps this breakout intact.
A confirmed close above $0.14015 would open the path toward $0.17132, with $0.22025 as the longer-term target if the Robinhood Chain revenue narrative keeps drawing fresh volume.
Bear case: A close back below $0.10004 would put the breakout in question and suggest the rally was mostly a short squeeze rather than a structural shift.
The September 16 unlock adds roughly $11.86M in fresh supply into the mix, and if that lands while momentum is already fading, it could accelerate a pullback toward the EMA zone near $0.09778.
$ARB is rallying much harder than BTC price today, so this looks like an ARB-specific move, not a market-wide one.
If BTC stays steady, $ARB has room to hold its gains; if BTC drops, ARB could fall faster too. Keep an eye on Bitcoin Price Prediction & this ARB price prediction.
Arbitrum Price Prediction 2027
$ARB could move toward $0.22591 if the current bullish trend continues and key support holds. This is a speculative long-term estimate.
ArbitrumPrice Prediction 2028
A steady multi-year recovery could take $ARB toward $0.35077. This is speculative and depends heavily on broader market cycles.
ArbitrumPrice Prediction 2029
In a strongly bullish long-term scenario, $ARB could aim for $0.59927. This far-out figure is speculative and not based on current chart data.
According to CoinGabbar analysts , The Robinhood Chain revenue story gives $ARB a fundamental narrative it hasn't had in months, and the scale of short liquidations over the past 24 hours suggests part of this move was forced buying, not just conviction.
That combination can extend a rally quickly but also unwind just as fast once shorts are flushed out.
The September 16 unlock is the next real test of whether this breakout has staying power once the squeeze dynamics fade.
