ARB Market Fundamentals
Meanwhile, popular Twitter crypto influencer @CL207 is convinced the Arbitrum market is significantly bolstered by fundamentals. The crypto influencer noted that Arbitrum’s governance has greatly improved recently.
Arbitrum Token Holders Reject Proposal
Dubbed AIP-1.05, the Arbitrum community has almost unanimously voted against a proposal to return 700 million $ARB worth about $1 billion to the DAO treasury. The voting began on April 8 and is slated to complete on April 15.
So far, about 113 million, which accounts for 83 per cent of cast votes, are against the proposal. Only 20 million ARB token holders, accounting for 15 per cent of cast votes, are for the proposal to proceed. The proposal has been viewed as a huge step towards Arbitrum’s decentralization and the restoration of the governance process.
