About Arbitrum
Arbitrum is an Ethereum scaling ecosystem designed to process transactions with lower costs while drawing on Ethereum for settlement and security. ARB is its governance token, giving holders a role in decisions about the ecosystem. ARBUSD quotes the value of ARB in US dollars, so changes in the pair reflect its dollar-denominated market price.
Arbitrum’s distinctive feature is its use of optimistic rollup technology, which processes transactions away from Ethereum’s main network and submits data back to it. The ecosystem supports applications such as decentralised exchanges and lending protocols. ARB’s governance role is separate from transaction fees, which are paid in ETH on Arbitrum One rather than in ARB.
On Xellion’s MT5 platform, Arbitrum is traded as an ARBUSD CFD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning the underlying token. The contract size is 1 ARB, and trading is available seven days a week outside platform maintenance windows. CFD exposure involves price risk, while leverage can amplify both gains and losses.

ARBUSD questions
What does the ARBUSD quote represent?
ARBUSD expresses the price of Arbitrum’s ARB token in US dollars. ARB is the asset being priced, and USD is the quote currency. On Xellion, the instrument provides CFD exposure to this price rather than ownership of ARB tokens.
Is ARB used to pay transaction fees on Arbitrum One?
ARB serves a governance role within the Arbitrum ecosystem. Transaction fees on Arbitrum One are paid in ETH, not ARB. Network usage can influence interest in the ecosystem, but it does not create a direct requirement to pay fees in ARB.
Does trading an ARBUSD CFD provide governance rights?
No. An ARBUSD CFD on Xellion’s MT5 platform does not confer ownership of ARB or token-based governance rights. It allows long or short exposure to price movements without holding the token in a cryptocurrency wallet.
What are the contract size and trading hours for ARBUSD?
The ARBUSD contract size is 1 ARB. Trading is available seven days a week, outside platform maintenance windows. These maintenance periods interrupt platform access to trading, even though the underlying cryptocurrency market can continue to move.
