Arbitrum Price Forecast: ARB extends rally on “Innovation Exemption” amid rising tokenized funds

Source Fxstreet
  • Arbitrum rallies nearly 30% so far on Friday, surpassing the previous annual high of $0.2277 set on January 6.
  • US SEC issued an “Innovation Exemption” on Thursday, enabling Tokenized Securities Venues to trade tokenized NMS stocks.
  • The tokenized funds on Arbitrum On reached a fresh high of over $900 million, suggesting a steady influx of tokenized RWAs.

Arbitrum (ARB) continues a clear bullish rally, up 28% so far on Friday, approaching the $0.2300 mark. This rally aligns with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granting an “Innovation Exemption” on Thursday, a five-year temporary relief for crypto platforms to trade tokenized stocks. Tokenized funds on Arbitrum have surpassed $900 million in value, reaching a new high and indicating elevated demand for tokenized assets.

Tokenized fund flows to Arbitrum amid SEC’s push for tokenized stock trading

The US SEC granted a five-year temporary exemption to Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs) like Arbitrum to trade tokenized National Market System (NMS) stocks, amid a rise in tokenized funds. This decision enables 24/7 trading of tokenized assets and instant settlement using permissioned AMM liquidity pools. However, TSVs will require auditable smart contracts on public permissionless ledgers and limits on trading volume. 

Arbitrum, an Ethereum-based Layer-2 platform, emerges as a ready infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), aiming to build a programmable economy. Token Terminal data shows a sharp influx of tokenized funds on Arbitrum, reaching a record high of $979.93 million on Wednesday, driven by credit funds, US and Non-US Treasury bills, and yield strategies.

Technical outlook: Arbitrum rally eyes further upside

Arbitrum continues its steady upward rise for the fourth consecutive day, with gains totaling over 70% so far this week. ARB retains a clear bullish near-term bias above the 50-, 100-, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $0.1224, $0.1104, and $0.1236, respectively.

The advance is now pressing into the upper end of the Fibonacci range from $0.2305 to $0.0705, with overhead supply emerging just below the Fibonacci cycle high at the 100% retracement level of $0.2305. A confirmed breakout above this level could target the 127.2% Fibonacci extension level at $0.3181.

Momentum remains constructive, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crossing above its signal line, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rises to 78, flagging overbought conditions.

Silver breaks $64 as precious metals rebound — can gold hold the $4,280 line into the Fed decision?Silver has climbed back above $64 an ounce for the first time this week, leading a broad rebound across precious metals hours before the Federal Reserve delivers what is expected to be its first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver was last at $64.64, up 1.49% on the day, while gold reclaimed $4,300 and platinum and palladium both advanced. The question now is whether the bounce is a genuine turn — or a pause before the Fed's dot plot decides the next move.
