Crypto traders have been mistakenly trading a dead token called ARbit, thinking it was Arbitrum token (ARB) whose airdrop went live on Thursday.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n A dead token ARbit (ARB) has been pumping over the last week as traders mistakenly thought it was Arbitrum<\/a>. The latter’s airdrop of its native token ARB went live on Thursday. <\/span><\/p>\n Market participants fueled a 2,000% spike in the price of the ARbit (ARB) token thinking it was ARB, the native token of Arbitrum, an Ethereum<\/a> scaling blockchain. The token went ballistic from $0.00024 to a peak of $0.027 over an eight-day period.<\/span><\/p>\n The 24-hour trading volume remains relatively high, standing at $11,866 up<\/span> 20.3% on the day, according to <\/span>data <\/span><\/a>from CoinMarketCap. This is an illustration that traders usually make basic mistakes when it comes to crypto trading. <\/span><\/p>\n There is no doubt<\/span> that traders were expecting to trade the ARB token, which is the token that is used for Arbitrum. <\/span><\/p>\n Such mistakes are not uncommon. In February, traders pumped and dumped the BASE token following an <\/span>announcement<\/span><\/a> by the U.S.-based crypto exchange Coinbase that is building its own Layer 2 network on Ethereum. The price of BASE, a token pegged to the total crypto market cap at a ratio of 1:1 trillion, surged 350% from $0.864 to $5.34 between February 20 and 23, after which it fell because traders realized that it was the wrong token. BASE currently trades at $0.67.<\/span><\/p>\n The Arbitrum airdrop which went live on March 23 has had the crypto community excited over the past few days. Over 1 billion ARB tokens are to be distributed to 625,000 addresses. The minimum airdrop value is 625 ARB, and the maximum is 10,250 ARB.<\/span><\/p>\n To claim your stake in Arbitrum DAO governance, click on the link below.
