Arbitrum Price Update: ARB Climbs to $0.23, EV2 Presale Starts, DUSK Soars

Arbitrum is finally catching a bid. After spending most of the week testing the patience of its holders, ARB has jolted higher, reclaiming the $0.23 level and signaling a shift in momentum. The move hasn’t occurred in isolation of course: the entire market has eased higher in the last 24 hours, with traders rotating into assets that held their ground during the turbulence.

In a week where Layer-1 tokens – ETH especially – have dominated trading talk, Arbitrum’s resurgence is a reminder that Layer-2 infrastructure still matters, especially for liquidity and scaling on Ethereum. And as a planetary moon of Ethereum, so to speak, when ETH rallies, it’s inevitable that ARB should follow suit.

While ARB gathers strength, two other stories are brewing: EV2 has officially launched its presale, drawing speculative capital, and DUSK is posting one of its strongest multi-day rallies in months. Let’s unpack what’s going on – and why Arbitrum might be one of the more interesting charts heading into the weekend.

Arbitrum Climbs Back to $0.23

ARB’s price action over the last couple of weeks has been unimpressive, with little dynamic action to speak of. But now, eyes are back on the chart. Spot buyers have stepped in, defending $0.23 as a clear accumulation zone, while anything above $0.27 would mark a clear breakout, though there’s still some way to go before that prophecy comes to pass as the latest five-day ARB price prediction shows.

Arbitrum is one of the most heavily used L2s in terms of total value bridged and daily transaction throughput and its ecosystem continues to expand – not at the memecoin velocity of Solana, but in that steady manner that often precedes structural price appreciation. Meanwhile, there are plenty of builders using Arbitrum’s network to its full capabilities – Robinhood, for instance, just tokenized another 151 RWAs on the L2, bringing its total to 644 tokenized assets. Bullish.

EV2 Presale Starts: Web3 Gaming Narrative Rekindles

While ARB works back toward higher resistance, speculative traders are hunting moves elsewhere – and EV2 has emerged as one of the week’s buzziest presales. EV2 will be a space combat MMORPG that enables heavy character customization, alien battles, and bitching armor and weaponry that can be player owned and thus player traded.

Better gear equates to stronger characters in the game, which in turn equate to higher asset value, and presale buyers can expect first dibs on rare items, tokenized rewards, and early access when EV2 launches. It’s worth noting that crypto capital doesn’t chase presales when sentiment is bearish. The fact that $EV2 inflows are building tells us traders are warming up to risk again in the pursuit of outsized returns.

DUSK Steals the Show

While the market watches ARB and the presale crowd focuses on EV2, a completely different story is unfolding on the charts: DUSK is ripping, making it one of the top crypto gainers over the last 24 hours. DUSK has surged aggressively over the past month, outperforming the vast majority of the top 100 tokens. Infrastructure coins tend to perform well when the market rotates from defensive to opportunistic – traders treat them as asymmetric plays with high short-term upside. Particularly now that RWA tokenization is gathering pace, which Dusk’s Layer-1 is at the heart of.

Call it a trend or call it a rotation; either way, infra tokens are back in demand. Zooming out and looking at the overall sentiment right now, crypto isn’t euphoric yet – but it’s started moving in the right direction. For traders who have been waiting patiently for the market to wake up… it just did.
