ARBITRUM STIP UPDATE - #6
Over the past two weeks, Balancer distributed 100,000 $ARB to drive liquidity across top-performing pools on @arbitrum, focusing on LST/LRTs and Stablecoins.
​
Average daily TVL reached $77.3M, with $7.03M in daily volume and 2,168 unique addresses.
​
Key pools like wstETH/sfrxETH and sFRAX/4POOL received substantial incentives, while stablecoin TVL hit an all-time high of $11M, led by sUSX/USDC at $1.34M.
Balancer’s partnership with @GyroStable and integration with @aave’s lending markets has boosted $ARB flow into the ecosystem. This collaboration, especially with Gyroscope’s Rehype pools, allows liquidity providers to earn yield from Aave’s lending markets.
​
In addition to these liquidity efforts, Balancer has teamed up with @Galxe to launch the Balancer x Galaxe Arbitrum Quests. Participants can engage with the Balancer ecosystem and compete for a share of $50K in ARB rewards.

​
Looking ahead, another 50,000 $ARB will be distributed to incentivize Balancer’s top pools, ensuring continued growth in liquidity across the platform.
