According to the latest market data, Arbitrum ($ARB) – which is currently trading on Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitrue, and BTCEX – reported a daily traded volume of about $1,397,327,284 on Friday.
Interestingly, the $ARB tokens have a market capitalization of approximately $1.7 billion, thus making it have a high potential for high volatility in the coming weekend and weeks ahead.

Arbitrum Whale Activity on the Rise
According to the on-chain analytics platform Santiment, $ARB whale addresses have intensified their trading activities in the recent past. For instance, an Arbitrum whale identified as Amber transferred 11.2 million $ARB worth approximately $15.8 million to OKX and Binance. Reportedly, the Amber $ARB whale currently holds 4.47 million Arbitrum tokens worth about $6.3 million.
Reportedly, the largest Arbitrum whale holds 9.94 million $ARB tokens worth $14 million. With more Arbitrum whales withdrawing $ARB tokens from centralized exchanges like Binance and OKX, the price could gain momentum amid an expected altcoin rally in the coming weeks.
