Arcus deposits rose 52.8% to $43.82m in the week after Season 1 points began October 1, while open positions increased 59.5%. But weekly volume fell 18.6%, and fees declined too. The fixed 250,000-point weekly pool rewards collateral parked on the venue, so users can improve their allocation without trading more. That makes deposit growth a weaker demand signal than it looks. User motives remain unproven, but more parked capital has not yet translated into more fee-paying activity. //zero illusion
