The blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain noted that 2 whales, who had been dormant for several months, transacted with Arbitrum (ARB) over the past few days. Shortly after these transactions, the crypto’s price started to pump. This left the firm questioning whether or not the whales knew beforehand that ARB’s price would rally today.
According to a second tweet posted by Lookonchain this morning, whale “0x1b67” withdrew 450,881 ARB, worth approximately $504K, from Binance over the weekend. On-chain data indicated that this particular whale had been dormant for 1.6 years.
Meanwhile, whale “0x3737” spent 939 Ethereum (ETH), estimated to be worth $1.68 million, to purchase 1.57 million ARB at an average purchase price of $1.07 on 20 June 2023. Lookonchain added that this whale had been dormant for 6 months prior to this purchase.

In addition to strengthening against the Dollar over the past 24 hours, the altcoin also outperformed the market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). At press time, ARB was up 9.62% against BTC and was up 10.53% against ETH.
