Arbitrum for business: Ethereum economics at usable prices
Arbitrum is where Ethereum activity goes to be affordable — the largest L2 by value locked, carrying serious DeFi and payments volume with mainnet security behind it. ARB is its governance asset.

Arbitrum is an optimistic rollup: it executes transactions cheaply off Ethereum's mainnet while inheriting mainnet's security by posting proofs back to it. That model made it the largest Ethereum Layer 2 by total value locked, home to deep DeFi liquidity, active stablecoin rails, and an expanding roster of institutional experiments that want Ethereum alignment without mainnet gas costs.
ARB is the ecosystem's governance token, steering the Arbitrum DAO's substantial treasury and the protocol's technical direction. Fees on the network are paid in ETH — ARB's role is governance and ecosystem coordination.
Why businesses hold ARB
The exposure logic: Ethereum's roadmap explicitly pushes activity to L2s, and Arbitrum has the incumbent's share of that migration — its DeFi depth and developer base compound. ARB is the liquid claim on the leading venue of Ethereum's own scaling plan, a thesis that inherits Ethereum's institutional momentum rather than competing with it.
Operationally, companies running settlement or DeFi treasury strategies on Arbitrum benefit from its costs — cents where mainnet charges dollars — and hold ARB for governance weight in the ecosystem their operations depend on. Exits route through liquid pairs at the desk with the standard same-day dollar settlement.

ETH. Arbitrum fees are paid in ETH like mainnet; ARB is the governance token. Businesses operating there hold a small ETH float and, separately, ARB if they want governance exposure.
Why Arbitrum over other L2s?
Incumbency: the deepest liquidity, the largest value locked, and the longest production record among Ethereum rollups — the conservative choice within the L2 thesis.
Can we buy ARB through the business account?
Yes — funded by wire or card at quoted prices, titled to the entity throughout.
How do we exit an ARB position?
Through the desk via liquid pairs, settling USD by the standard same-day rails — Fedwire, RTP, or ACH.
