Odaily Planet Daily report: Steven Goldfeder, co-founder of Offchain Labs, clarified on X that there is significant misunderstanding in the market regarding the ARB token supply structure, with some data incorrectly including DAO-held tokens as “locked.” The vesting schedules for ARB investors and team members are nearing completion and are expected to be fully unlocked by March next year, at which point only approximately 7.7% of the total ARB supply will remain locked.
Steven Goldfeder added that a significant remaining amount of ARB is actually held in the Arbitrum DAO treasury, with the DAO currently holding approximately 2.84 billion ARB. These tokens are not locked in the traditional sense, but their movement is entirely governed by votes from ARB holders; the DAO can only access these assets through governance votes by other token holders.
