ArbitrumDAO generated $6.19 million in income during the first half of 2026 from Arbitrum One transaction fees, Timeboost, AEP licensing and treasury returns, with combined gross margins above 97%. The Arbitrum Foundation reported $27.7 million in USD costs and a further 4.6 million ARB in expenses, while holding $86.88 million in liquid and usable assets as of June 30. Robinhood Chain, which uses Arbitrum technology through an expansion program, generated $360,000 in licensing fees during its first mainnet month in July, or about 35% of the DAO’s income for that month. The Foundation said July income put third-quarter revenue on course to exceed second-quarter revenue by more than 40%. Arbitrum’s tokenized real-world asset market reached $1 billion, with more than 2,000 deployed RWA assets, while Ethereum remained the sector leader by total value locked. The network processed 478 million transactions in the first half, lifted lifetime transactions above 2.7 billion and recorded average monthly stablecoin transfer volume above $70 billion. ARB traded near $0.136 on September 3 after gaining more than 50% in seven days and roughly 23% in 24 hours. Daily trading volume exceeded $500 million, about nine times the previous week’s average, while futures open interest rose 35%. Robinhood Chain recorded $1.43 billion in decentralized-exchange volume and $3.75 million in fees during one cited 24-hour period, compared with $193 million in volume and about $14,700 in fees for Arbitrum One. Crypto analyst Crypto Patel outlined possible levels at $0.49, $1.20, $2.42 and above $5, but those figures remain an individual forecast. ARB was still more than 95% below its 2024 all-time high, and continued volume will be important in assessing whether the rally can withstand profit-taking and increased liquidation risk.
