Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are facing significant downturns. Despite Donald Trump’s plans to build a Bitcoin reserve, Bitcoin (BTC) has struggled to make gains, remaining around the $80,000 mark.
Amid this market turmoil, Offchain Labs, the team behind the Ethereum Layer-2 network Arbitrum, has revealed a new strategy to bolster its position in the ecosystem.
The company has disclosed plans to acquire ARB tokens for its treasury through a strategic acquisition process.
Offchain Labs will gradually purchase ARB tokens over time, utilizing the open market and other mechanisms, but the exact quantity of tokens they intend to acquire has not been disclosed.
ARB’s value has seen a dramatic decline, dropping 86% from its January 2024 peak of $2.39 and falling 54% year-to-date. Currently, ARB is trading around $0.33, after a 7.6% drop in the last 24 hours.
Despite these challenges, Arbitrum remains one of Ethereum’s leading Layer-2 solutions, with over $2.3 billion locked in its ecosystem.
