<p><a href="https://x.com/arbitrum" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@arbitrum</a> (<a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24ARB&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$ARB</a>), an Ethereum layer-2 network whose technology also powers chains such as Robinhood Chain, has had a busy stretch since early October. Developments range from a new stablecoin rollout to an emergency freeze of funds linked to the Binance exploit, with a governance vote on those funds still to come.</p>
<h2 id="stablecoin-push-and-new-integrations">Stablecoin Push and New Integrations</h2>
<p>On October 6, Paxos' Global Dollar (USDG) went live on Arbitrum One. <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/10/06/paxos-usdg-goes-live-on-arbitrum-with-multiple-defi-integrations/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Crypto Times reported</a> integrations from Morpho, Uniswap, GMX, Kraken and Maple Finance, among other protocols.</p>
<p>On October 15, the Arbitrum Foundation opened its Stablecoin Growth Program. <a href="https://defiprime.com/arbitrum-opens-usdg-stablecoin-growth-program" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According to DeFi Prime</a>, it is aimed at protocols with at least $1 million in stablecoin balances, and accepted teams must make USDG their primary stablecoin on Arbitrum One. <a href="https://phemex.com/news/article/arbitrum-foundation-unveils-usdg-stablecoin-growth-program-with-2m-arb-incentive-pool-100233" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Phemex reported</a> that the program carries a 2 million ARB reward pool, with the first 10 teams to reach a 30-day average USDG balance of $10 million each eligible for up to 200,000 ARB.</p>
<p>Other launches followed. On October 21, Fhenix launched its privacy layer on Arbitrum, allowing smart contracts to work with encrypted data. On October 22, <a href="https://x.com/aeroxyz" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@aeroxyz</a>, the merged Aerodrome and Velodrome decentralized exchange, went live on Arbitrum and six other networks.</p>

<p>On October 30, Arbitrum's Security Council took emergency action. <a href="https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/security-council-emergency-action-30-10-2026/31625" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The council's notice</a> said it froze 8,425 ETH and 74,559,805.2 ARB held on Arbitrum One by an address identified with the Binance exploit, and that no other users' funds or applications were affected. The council used a temporary upgrade to the Ethereum Inbox contract to carry out the transfer. <a href="https://crypto.news/arbitrum-moved-stolen-binance-funds-returning-them-takes-a-vote/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto.news reported</a> the funds sit in a holding address and moving them again requires a DAO governance vote.</p>
<p>On November 5, <a href="https://x.com/binance" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@binance</a> asked the Arbitrum DAO to return the frozen funds. The vote process is expected to take about seven weeks.</p>
<p>Separately, on November 4, Robinhood Chain (<a href="https://x.com/RobinhoodCrypto" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@RobinhoodCrypto</a>), built on Arbitrum technology, passed $1.07 billion in total value locked.</p>
<p>ARB was trading at $0.1674, up almost 7% over the past day and 3.7% on the week.</p>
