Libertex, the online trading platform for retail and professional traders, has just launched an exciting new underlying asset that grants traders a superb opportunity to trade the future of cryptocurrency – Arbitrum CFDs.

Arbitrum is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that runs its own blockchain. Designed to improve upon the base Ethereum functionality that supports smart contracts, NFTs and dApps, Arbitrum is creating a buzz among crypto and institutional investors in the finance world because of the advantages it offers compared to older crypto solutions. These include:

• Faster transactions – Arbitrum can process 40,000 transactions per second compared to just 14 on Ethereum. This makes it much more capable of upscaling than Ethereum and its competitors.
• Lower fees – Due to its highly efficient optimistic rollup technology, transactions that would cost several dollars to complete on Ethereum only cost around two cents on Arbitrum.
• Market share – Arbitrum's appeal is backed up by the numbers. It is the leading layer-2 solution, claiming over 66% of the market in terms of total value locked. There are over 4 million unique Arbitrum addresses and more than 400 Arbitrum dApps, including many popular platforms such as GMX, Uniswap and Camelot.
• Developer-friendly – Arbitrum is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and popular programming languages. It comes with documentation for developers and doesn't need any plugins or extras for developing Ethereum-based apps.
• Governance functionality – Arbitrum tokens (ARB) will be used for governance within the Arbitrum DAO, granting holders a voice and stake in the future of the project.
• Track NFTs in real time – The latest feature to be added to Arbitrum is the ability to receive real-time notifications when an NFT changes addresses, as well as the option to track and follow trends using the Alchemy platform. This makes it especially useful for anyone involved in the NFT marketplace.

Arbitrum continues to add new features that make it an even bigger player in the crypto world. Traders now have a chance to join this project's exciting journey by trading Arbitrum CFDs with Libertex without needing to buy or hold the ARB token itself.
