Tell me whats your first reaction when you look at @arbitrum’s annual price changes?

(we gotta face these numbers, not run away from them)

$ARB -

2023: High -> $1.80 - Low -> $0.745
2024: High -> $2.41 - Low -> $0.434
2025: High -> $0.952 - Low -> $0.194

2026: High -> ? - Low -> ? ( New Year loading..

Yeah… it’s both risk and opportunity at the same time

There’s definitely a mismatch between ARB’s price act and what the Arbitrum ecosystem is actually doing. But really? this mostly signals less capital willing to bet on the token, not a collapse in ecosystem activity, tech, or momentum

Even with the price sitting around $0.217, Arbitrum is still one of the top L2s in TVL, active addresses, active devs, and overall infrastructure maturity

The ecosystem never died (far from it) the long-term fundamentals are still there, still moving, still building

But facts are facts haha, for people who put real money into $ARB, price going up is the thing that actually builds confidence, both short-term and long-term

Personally, I think that as long as the ecosystem keeps strong volume + fresh inflows (new projects, new products, new infra) + a better token value-capture model and high usage, the price finding its way back isn’t a question of “if”, but “when”

But still, never stay blindly optimistic about anything, stay rational, think for yourself, and manage your own risk (NFA, obviously)
