Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Arbitrum, Ethereum & Shiba – European Wrap 6 April


Arbitrum revises controversial proposal as the Layer 2 solution matches Ethereum in daily transactions

Arbitrum made headlines over the month of March, first for the launch of its native token ARB and then for AIP-1. The very first governance proposal that the Foundation put out did not sit well with the community resulting in severe backlash. Now the Foundation is attempting to fix its blunder since Arbitrum use has sustained solid growth.

The controversial proposal was criticized for the way it handled the response from the community. Despite noting a majority vote against the transfer of $1 billion worth of 750 million ARB for admin and operations costs, the Foundation went ahead with it anyway.

Shiba Inu themed meme coins yielded gains for holders in response to the recent logo change of Twitter. DOGE offered double-digit gains to holders overnight while SHIB, FLOKI and ELON followed the lead of the largest meme coin in the ecosystem.
