Gamza KhanzadaevArbitrum (ARB) airdrop
The Arbitrum token airdrop has the potential to be one of the most significant events of the year in the crypto world. The last time similar hype was raised around the token airdrop of another Ethereum L2 solution was OP from Optimism. In ARB's case, however, the scope of the event may be greater, given that Arbitrum itself is now larger than not only Optimism but also any of its competitors.
According to DefiLlama, of all the chains, Arbitrum is now fourth in terms of total value locked up, at $1.75 billion. In comparison, Polygon (MATIC) is next in the ranking, trailing by $750 million. As for volume on decentralized exchanges in the last 24 hours, Arbitrum is second only to Ethereum (ETH), with $924.82 million.
It is unknown whether ARB will suffer the fate of all airdrops and be instantly dumped, but crypto market capitalization will almost certainly add a couple billion due to this event, now or later.
