The spike in the number of token holders points towards a bullish future for the ARB token.
Moreover, despite the fact that the number of token holders increased, the overall network growth continued to decline.
Well, the network growth indicator is used to determine if new addresses are interested in the ARB token by gauging their activity.
A falling network growth suggests that the number of token holders increased because old addresses who have faith in ARB were accumulating the token at a discount.
In terms of velocity, the ARB took a hit. This meant that the frequency with which ARB was being traded amongst addresses was beginning to decline.
