At the beginning of March, another group of major investors holding Arbitrum moved their coins to exchanges following the release of a batch of earned tokens.
On March 23rd, the blockchain data platform Lookonchain reported that it had identified four more wallets transferring ARB tokens to exchanges after the unlocking of $2.32 billion worth of earned tokens on March 16th.
These whales transferred a total of 11.34 million ARB tokens to Binance. At the time of transfer, these tokens were valued at a total of $18.5 million.
The recent fund movements in Arbitrum have sparked diverse interpretations within the crypto community. While one user does not see this as a "bearish signal," another believes that ARB will not rise at this point. These differing opinions reflect the speculative nature and variety of perspectives inherent in the crypto markets.
The significant transfers in recent weeks followed the release of a large amount of tokens into the market after Arbitrum's token distribution. The project allocated 673.5 million ARB for advisors and team members, and 438.25 million ARB for investors. The release of these large quantities of tokens created significant fluctuations in token prices.
The unlocking of tokens and subsequent movements led to a decrease in ARB prices. ARB fell from $2.22 on March 13 to $1.84 on March 16. The fluctuations continued in the following days, with the token price reaching $1.79 on March 21, but it is currently trading around $1.70.
The current price of ARB is approximately 29% lower than its all-time high of $2.39 on January 12. This situation highlights the short-term market effects of Arbitrum's token distribution strategy and the volatile nature of crypto assets. Crypto investors and followers should be cautious in the face of such market fluctuations and shape their investment decisions accordingly.
The unlocking of token vesting schedules may currently appear to have an impact on prices; however, there is no definite evidence suggesting the end of this downward trend.
According to Token Unlocks, a crypto vesting tracker, Arbitrum is set to release an additional 92.65 million ARB tokens for advisors, team members, and investors on April 16th.
