DAO ARB airdrop mostly sitting idle: Report

More than $125 million worth of ARB tokens had been handed out to Arbitrum’s ecosystem DAOs in April. The initial expectation was that DAOs would distribute ARB tokens to wider community members, Steven Goldfeder, CEO at Offchain Labs, told Blockworks in an earlier interview.  Now, two months following the airdrop , venture capital firm Castle Capital has taken a look at where these ARB tokens have been allocated in a detailed research report.  The report shows that GMX, Uniswap, SushiSwap and Curve — some of the largest ARB token holders —  have not used their tokens or made any significant plans with the tokens.  In fact, more than 80% of the airdrop ped tokens to DAOs have not been used, Castle Capital noted in a tweet.  But not all ARB tokens are sitting stale. “12.9 million tokens have been used either through redistribution to respective communities, runway extension, elsewhere in DeFi, for incentives, or to create POL,” Castle Capital tweeted.

How Ethereum Price Could Race to $3K Bolstered by Accelerated Staking Post-Shapella Upgrade

Image
As the price wobbles at $1,865 and traders usher in the European session, Ethereum price is facing two conflicting scenarios. advertisement Reclaiming resistance above $1,900 could clear the path to $2,000. On the flip side, losing support at the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is grounded at $1,800, might leave ETH vulnerable to declines targeting lower likes such as $1,730 and $1,600. Ethereum Staking Accelerates Post-Shapella Upgrade According to blockchain research platform Messari, Ethereum staking has been improving since the Shapella upgrade, which occurred in April. Before this network update that allowed investors to freely stake and unstake Ether, “staking growth was slow and perceived as riskier.” However, market conditions changed and improved drastically following the implementation of the Shapella upgrade. Users now have the freedom to “comfortably stake and unstake ETH,” thus accelerating the rate of staking. Re

JASMY’s price could fall in the next few days as a bearish pattern has formed on its daily chart. The on-chain analytics form, Lookonchain, revealed in a tweet earlier today that a whale has transferred millions of Jasmy Coin (JASMY) to an exchange. According to the post, a whale who calls himself “Jasmy Deployer” deposited more than 700 million JASMY, worth around $3.43 million, to Gate.io just a few hours ago. This particular whale is a big player in the crypto space as it held almost 5% of JASMY at the start of June. As such, any move made by the whale may be reflected in the price of the altcoin. There could be a price drop in the near future for JASMY as the whale may look to offload some of its holdings. If this transfer is related to market making, however, then the possible
