Expanding on Arbitrum
While today’s addition puts Ethereum and USDT in the limelight, Venus Protocol already offers various money-making opportunities on the Arbitrum blockchain.
These include WETH, ARB, WBTC, and USDC, all with lucrative annual percentage returns.

DRIP is part of the plans to enhance DeFi activity on the ARB ecosystem.
The DRIP program boasts around 80 million ARB tokens, worth approximately $40 million, to incentivise user activity.
Individuals will unlock rewards by participating in specific DeFi actions.
The program’s first season will run between September 3 and January 20, 2026.
The official press release highlighted:
In June of this year, the ArbitrumDAO approved the creation of DRIP, earmarking 80 million ARB tokens, over $40 million, to be distributed over four seasons. Each season is designed to target a specific DeFi use case, driving high-impact experimentation while amplifying liquidity, capital efficiency, and protocol growth across the ecosystem.
XVS and ARB price actions
The duo exhibited bearish price charts amidst the latest updates.
Venus Protocol’s native coin trades at $5.97 after dropping more than 2% in the past day.
On the other hand, ARB hovers at $0.4083, down 1.95% on its daily chart.
The downside trajectory reflects the prevailing bear dominance in the crypto market.
Digital currencies fell yesterday following revised US GDP data, which sparked concerns about no further rate cuts this year.
Bitcoin is trading at $109,170, with today’s options expiry hinting at further dips.
BTC’s next move will influence price performances in the altcoin sector.
