Arbitrum is recording fresh decentralized finance (DeFi) activity after two USDG vaults on its network surpassed $100 million in TVL in less than a month, according to Entropy Advisors. The vaults, curated by Gauntlet and Steakhouse Financial on Morpho, have quickly become leading USDG products. Meanwhile, the ARB price is trading around $0.1707 as traders monitor a potential double-bottom formation. Crypto analyst Crypto With Gopal identified the setup, with a breakout above resistance potentially opening the way toward higher price levels.
Arbitrum USDG Vaults Surpass $100M in TVL
According to Entropy Advisors, two USDG vaults operating on Arbitrum crossed $100 million in TVL within a month. The products are curated by Gauntlet and Steakhouse Financial and operate through Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol.
The vaults now rank as the second- and third-largest USDG vaults on Morpho, behind Robinhood Earn. Their rapid growth highlights demand for these lending strategies and strengthens Arbitrum’s position in the DeFi lending market.

Vault curators manage lending strategies and risk parameters, helping users evaluate potential returns and exposure. However, rising deposits do not automatically indicate increased demand for ARB, as activity in USDG vaults and the native token’s market performance are separate measures.

Morpho Growth Highlights Arbitrum’s DeFi Expansion
The $100 million milestone demonstrates how quickly the two vaults have attracted capital. Their rankings also reflect their growing position within Morpho’s USDG ecosystem.
Further TVL growth may suggest continuing interest in USDG-based lending possibilities. The performance of lending, liquidity, and deposit retention will decide whether this expansion persists.
Implications for ARB still remain indirect since a rise in the activity levels within the Arbitrum network does not necessarily mean that the token’s demand is increasing. Market sentiment and trading of ARB on exchanges are crucial.
ARB Price Faces Resistance Near $0.172
ARB is currently hovering at $0.1707, with buyers holding their ground near the support of $0.163-$0.165. The resistance level ranging from $0.171 to $0.172 marks the first obstacle to the potential double bottom pattern noted by Crypto With Gopal.
In case of a successful breakout through the resistance level, $0.180 may come into consideration as a potential target price.

The support zone still holds equal importance. Maintaining the $0.163-$0.165 range will keep the bull setup intact, whereas breakdown from the range will make the pattern lose its strength and open up ARB for more downside.
Volume of trade and price action above the resistance level will help in confirming the buying momentum. In the absence of confirmation, the ARB price may continue to consolidate.
Crypto With Gopal Highlights a Potential Reversal
Crypto With Gopal noted a double bottom formation in ARB, indicating a reversal could be in the cards for ARB if buyers take charge again.
Double bottoms usually have two lows in the same price range, and confirmation comes from a breakout above the resistance in between. The critical price range for ARB at this point is $0.171-$0.172.
A cautiously bullish view continues to hold from the analyst, while $0.180 and $0.185 mark possible price levels for upside movement. However, such price objectives are subject to the breakout confirmation and bullish momentum. Failure to move past resistance may undermine the trade.
What Comes Next for ARB?
Future prospects for Arbitrum will be determined by the ability of the USDG vaults to continue growing their TVL, along with the potential of the ARB coin to confirm the reversal formation. Further deposits will demonstrate increased demand, while continued transactions will prove strong interest.
ARB’s next move is what matters to traders with its response near $0.171-$0.172. A breakout would take $0.180 and $0.185 into focus, whereas a break below $0.163-$0.165 would undermine the bullish bias.
The growing number of USDG vaults in the Arbitrum ecosystem indicates growth within the ecosystem, although ARB’s price movement would be determined by demand.
