Token Dossier

Arbitrum ($ARB), taken apart the way the desk does.

Arbitrum (ARB) Token Dossier · Token edition, as of 2026-11-13

The ARB dossier is the desk's Arbitrum teardown written out as a document, with the figures a short video cannot hold in one place: the token in numbers, the supply in circulation against the total and the maximum, the protocol's fees and revenue where they are tracked, and the level map rebuilt from the latest price. A token files no quarterly report, so this is a shorter document than a stock dossier, and it is priced as such.

Excerpt

1. The teardown

Written 2026-11-13, with prices as of 2026-11-13. Figures in this part are as the desk read them that day; parts 2 to 5 carry the numbers as of 2026-11-13.

The setup

Within days, about 93 million Arb unlock for Arbitrum's team and investors. At Thursday's close, that is about $14 million. The network's own governance body, the DAO, books about $1 million of income a month. Where does that income go, and what does the coin actually get? Arb closed Thursday at 15.08 cents, down 42% in a year. I will give you the answer, and one level, before the end.

What it is

It is a network that runs on top of Ethereum. It bundles transactions together and settles them on Ethereum, so each one costs a fraction of a cent. Users pay their fees in Ether, not in Arb. Arb is the governance token. Holders vote on upgrades, and on how the DAO spends its treasury.

The supply

10 billion Arb exist, and no more can be minted. About 6.89 billion are in circulation, says CoinGecko. The team and the early investors receive their coins in monthly cliffs. Each one is about 92.65 million Arb. The next lands on November 15 or sixteenth. DefiLlama and Tokenomist differ by one day. The Foundation says the vesting ends in March 2027.

What the dossier has that the video does not

One dated table for the token: price, market value, fully diluted value, supply in circulation, total and maximum supply, volume and the record high, with a plain read of what the table says. Where a data provider tracks the protocol, its fees and revenue over 30 days and one year, and how many times annualised fees the token trades at, said as an estimate.

Kept current

The dossier carries an "as of" date. The tables are rebuilt on a regular schedule and the desk's daily check flags any dossier left more than 45 days without a refresh. The written teardown keeps its date, and a line says how far the price has moved since.

What is inside

  • The teardown in writing: what the token is, who earns it, the weak points and the verdict, dated.
  • What changed since it was written: the price then and now.
  • The token in numbers: market value, fully diluted value, supply in circulation, total and maximum supply, with a plain read.
  • Fees and revenue of the protocol over 30 days and one year, where a public data provider tracks them.
  • The level map rebuilt from the latest price: the 52-week range and the 50 and 200-day averages.
  • Sources: a link to every data page used.

Buy it if

  • You hold or watch $ARB and want a structured read before acting.
  • You want figures you can check yourself, not an opinion.

Skip it if

  • You want a buy signal. A dossier explains and maps; it does not signal.
  • You expect audited accounts. A token has none: the figures come from public data providers and are labelled as such.
