PicWe Is Now Live on Arbitrum, Bringing Omni-Chain Experience Without Bridging

  • PicWe enables seamless cross-chain transfers to Arbitrum without using traditional bridges.
  • Developers can build omni-chain apps on Arbitrum using PicWe’s user-first infrastructure.
PicWe is now live on Arbitrum. Not only is it present, this platform immediately made a breakthrough with a fairly bold approach: eliminating the bridging process that has been considered complicated and prone to errors. Users can now move assets to Arbitrum One in minutes from various networks such as Base, BNB Chain, and Movement—without having to deal with traditional cross-chain bridges. PicWe is now live on @Arbitrum ! Arbinauts, it’s time to move seamlessly PicWe unlocks a bridgeless, omni-chain experience—now on Arbitrum. Move assets to Arbitrum One in minutes from Base, BNB Chain, Movement and more, with no need for complex bridging steps.

PicWe calls this an omni-chain bridgeless experience. What it mean? Everything is connected, but without the need to go back and forth throwing assets through circuitous routes. And interestingly, this does not only apply to end users, but also targets developers who want to build directly on Arbitrum without the hassle of multi-chain configuration. PicWe Infra is designed so that users can navigate cross-chain assets with a smooth and secure experience. On the one hand, this makes the user experience simpler. On the other hand, developers can build cross-chain Web3 applications without fear of losing users due to technical matters. Arbitrum Strengthens Its Ecosystem with Volume, Investments, and Vision Additionally, CNF recently reported that Arbitrum’s DEXs have processed over half a trillion dollars in swaps. That’s an impressive number, indicating that the Layer-2 ecosystem is alive and kicking. Three major projects are the main contributors to this volume: Camelot, Uniswap, and PancakeSwap. So yes, when it comes to collaboration and network growth, Arbitrum is no small fry. Furthermore, in May, the Arbitrum DAO also approved an $11.6 million investment in tokenized US Treasury bonds. The funds were split between three major asset managers: Franklin Templeton, Spiko, and WisdomTree. Interestingly, almost 89% of the votes were in favor of this distribution. Only 0.01% voted against it, and around 11% voted to remain silent. This shows the community’s confidence in Arbitrum’s move to expand its exposure to real-world assets. Arbitrum isn’t just busy with transaction volumes or investment matters. In mid-March, as we’ve highlighted, Offchain Labs and the Arbitrum Foundation launched Onchain Labs together. This is a program to support early-stage blockchain projects—those that may not have a large team or strong capital but have bold ideas. The program provides funding, mentorship, and the resources needed to help these projects grow. With all of this, PicWe’s entry into Arbitrum feels like a perfect time. At a time when the network is aggressively expanding its reach and its ecosystem is becoming more diverse, the presence of solutions like PicWe only strengthens that foundation. Besides that, as of the writing time, ARB is changing hands at about $0.3237, up 6.6% over the last 7 days, driving its market cap to surpass the $1.50 billion mark.

Arbitrum DEX Swap Volume Crosses $500B and Still Growing

  • Arbitrum DEXs have processed over half a trillion in swaps, marking a major milestone in L2 adoption.
  • Key contributors include Camelot, Uniswap, and PancakeSwap, showing strong ecosystem collaboration and network growth.
After being touted as the busiest Layer-2 for a long time, Arbitrum has finally hit a round number that has caught the eye of many: over $500 billion in swap volume has been processed by various DEXs on its network. The massive volume reflects user enthusiasm, the abundant liquidity, and the strength of the various DeFi protocols that are rapidly developing on top of it. From Uniswap, Camelot, PancakeSwap, Ramses, to Fluid—all have contributed to building this ecosystem. Over half a trillion dollars in swaps have been processed by DEX's on Arbitrum! A huge milestone that wouldn't be possible without projects such as @CamelotDEX, @Uniswap, @0xfluid, @PancakeSwap, @RamsesExchange and many more. DeFi Everywhere. Arbitrum Everywhere. pic.twitter.com/hoazSltQQL — Arbitrum (@arbitrum) July 3, 2025 It is undeniable that the half-trillion-dollar figure gives Arbitrum a position that is increasingly difficult for other L2s to catch up to. Moreover, if you look at the data for the last 24 hours, the DEX swap volume on this network is still in the range of $180 million–$205 million. Not only that, its derivatives activity is also stable, with daily volume reaching $546 million to $746 million. For an ecosystem that was once considered “just an Ethereum alternative,” this achievement is worthy of being called extraordinary. Arbitrum Rethinks Speed and User Experience On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Arbitrum has integrated Hive—a platform that enables real-time blockchain data access with natural language-based queries. The presence of Hive reinforces Arbitrum’s ambition to make Web3 smarter and more open to AI-based applications. This means that it’s not only developer-friendly, but also promises a more user-friendly experience. Meanwhile, in early April, Arbitrum introduced “Operation Slowmo,” a rather unusual technical move: slowing down block times by up to 20 times. This move doesn’t slow down the system, but rather gives users some “breathing” room before making transactions. It’s a way to make the blockchain feel more human—in the sense that it’s not as rushed as it usually is. And if we go back a bit to May, we also noted that Arbitrum has surpassed $1.5 billion in cumulative volume on Uniswap v4 alone. At that time, several things were driving the ecosystem: the launch of the Elumia game, the ApeChain initiative, and new investments in treasury tokenization. All of this confirms one thing—Arbitrum’s expansion is no longer just about speed and low fees, but also about functional diversity. TVL Holds Steady, While Token Takes a Hit Not only that, in terms of total value locked (TVL), Arbitrum also remains comfortable in the range of $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion. Wallet activity is also no less active—with more than one million unique wallets recorded as active on this network. This figure explains why major protocols still choose Arbitrum as a place to anchor. However, amidst all this excitement, its native token, ARB, is not in a cheerful mood. At the time of writing, its price is around $0.3286, down 5.77% in the last 24 hours. This correction largely follows the negative trend that has occurred in the main crypto market, so it is not really surprising. Although the token price is currently tumbling, the Arbitrum network clearly shows no signs of abating.

Top US Crypto Exchange by Trading Volume Coinbase Adds Support for Leading Cross-Chain Messaging Protocol Wormhole (W)

The top US crypto exchange platform by trading volume is abruptly adding support for Wormhole (W), causing the native asset of the cross-chain messaging project to rally briefly. In a new announcement, Coinbase Assets says it’s adding Wormhole, an interoperability project that allows communication between blockchains, to its suite of digital asset products. “Wormhole (W) is now live on http://coinbase.com and in the Coinbase iOS and Android apps. Coinbase customers can log in to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store these assets.” News of the addition sent W flying, as the crypto asset went from a low of $0.61 on June 27th to a peak of $0.81 just a day later. Wormhole has since retraced and is trading for $0.071 time of writing, a fractional decrease during the last 24 hours. According to its official website, Wormhole is currently compatible with numerous prominent blockchains, including Base and BNB Chain, the respective blockchains of Coinbase and Binance, the two largest crypto exchanges in the world. “A fully integrated chain can use cross-chain decentralized applications (DApps) to send and receive tokens and NFTs. It can also publish and verify messages to and from the network – meaning developers can utilize the full suite and power of Wormhole.” Other compatible chains include smart contract platforms Ethereum (ETH), Algorand (ALGO), and Avalanche (AVAX), as well as layer-2 scaling solutions Optimism (OP), Arbitrum (ARB), and Polygon (POL).
