Arbitrum (ARB), a leading Ethereum scaling solution, has seen its native token jump more than 21% in the past 24 hours, rising from $0.30 to nearly $0.39.
The altcoin’s sharp price increase has come amid huge anticipation from bulls, driven by speculation surrounding a potential partnership with Robinhood.
Also helping buyers is the overall bullish crypto market, with sentiment seeing Bitcoin (BTC) retest $108k and Ethereum break above $2,500.
Why is the Arbitrum price up 21% in the last 24 hours?
According to details by on-chain data and analytics firm Lookonchain, ARB’s double-digit gains in the past 24 hours reflect growing market optimism tied to a possible Robinhood-Arbitrum collaboration.

The speculation gained traction late June 29, 2025, after Robinhood posted an announcement on its X account.
In particular, it pointed to a fireside chat in Cannes at 7:45 PM CEST on June 30 that will feature Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Robinhood’s crypto GM Johann Kerbrat, and Offchain Labs’ CSO.
Robinhood will stream the chat on its X and YouTube channels.
But what does this have to do with the ARB price?
Well, the rumours have increased since early reports that Robinhood could be looking to partner with Arbitrum in plans aimed at building a blockchain platform targeted for European investors.
The new platform would allow EU customers to trade US stocks.
Observers say the strategic alliance could enhance Arbitrum’s utility, with on-chain data from DefiLlama indicating a 25% increase in active addresses.
The address count jumped to more than 418,400 over the past 24 hours.
