Arbitrum stablecoin activity accelerates as holders reach 10.5M

Arbitrum's average monthly stablecoin transfer volume exceeded $70 billion during the first half of 2026, while the number of stablecoin holders increased 40% to approximately 10.5 million.
The combination of higher transaction volume and a rapidly expanding holder base points to stronger usage of the network for payments, trading and dollar-denominated on-chain activity.
For $ARB, continued stablecoin adoption would strengthen the network's underlying activity metrics even if token performance does not move in lockstep with usage.
