Arbitrum Foundation's Head of Investment Strategy, Brendan Ma, presented the network to over 40 financial allocators linked to WisdomTree clients managing about €800 billion in assets. These closed-door meetings focused on how Arbitrum's network activity creates value for investors. Separately, ArbitrumDAO earned $6.19 million in income during the first half of 2026, driven by transaction fees, licensing fees, and treasury income, with a gross margin exceeding 97%. The Arbitrum Expansion Program, which allows other chains to use Arbitrum technology, contributed significantly to revenue, including fees from Robinhood Chain which launched on mainnet in July 2026. The DAO's governance token ARB is used for voting but does not generate transaction fees. No investment commitments were announced from the meetings.
