Arbitrum (ARB)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reported that Arbitrum One remains the largest Ethereum extension by capital deposited. The outlet measured transfer costs on September 28, 2026, at approximately 6:55 UTC. A simple transfer on Arbitrum One cost around 0.001 euros during that minute.
The same transfer on Ethereum itself cost roughly 0.007 euros in the same timeframe. This gap was narrower than usual because the main chain was unusually quiet. The source notes that blanket fee comparisons can be misleading due to such fluctuations.
Arbitrum One functions as an EVM chain where addresses and signatures work as they do on Ethereum. Users do not need a separate wallet because their existing Ethereum address is the same on Arbitrum. This contrasts with networks that use their own account model and separate wallet formats. The seven-day withdrawal wait is described as the security promise paid for with low fees.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ARB, measured when this story was written up on 28 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ARB traded at $0.2262 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 42.0% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 49.6%. These short-term figures are lower than the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.7%, indicating that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term. The 1-hour volume delta was -$172,281, while the 4-hour delta was -$31,049. A negative volume delta means that sell volume exceeded buy volume during those periods. Over the last 24 hours, the cumulative volume delta closed at -$275,938. This confirms that sellers dominated the spot market activity for the day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.1% sits at the 85th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.6% - stronger buying than most days.
