The decision to permit ARB staking by the Arbitrum DAO on its Layer 2 network has sparked optimism for the ARB tokens’ future.
The proposal, put forth by Arbitrum representative Frission, garnered support, with 91% of voters backing it. Despite ARB’s trend, this move has piqued interest in the token.
ARB’s value has been declining since the end of the March bull run. In the New York trading session, ARB was valued at $0.546, showing a slight 1.4% decrease in the past day. The token needs help to surpass resistance points defined by the 21 and 50 exponential moving averages.
Market experts point out that ARB is currently following a wedge pattern typically associated with market reversals. This pattern, combined with the staking initiative, has led to speculations of a price upsurge for the token.
The approved staking plan outlines the creation of a staking platform set to kick off operations in August.
Frission emphasized in their proposal how ARB staking could elevate its role as a governance token and contribute to its value appreciation. The next phase involves securing $200,000 in funding through an on-chain proposal via Tally.
Many people in the market are keeping an eye on this situation, hoping that the staking platform could bring some energy to ARB’s price movement.
While ARB is still in a bearish trend, the token looks to find some support at some of the levels and is currently oversold according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as well as the Bollinger Bands indicator.
The staking proposal approval by the Arbitrum DAO is a new development for the ARB token. Investors will keep their eyes on the staking platform development to look forward to the turn around of the fortunes of ARB and the likely hood of the near term rally in the market that could be as high as 50%.
