Arbitrum took a step deeper into institutional real-world assets on Friday, after NashPoint Finance announced a partnership with DigiFT, a regulated digital asset exchange in Asia, to expand access to tokenized credit products.
The collaboration brings together NashPoint’s structured credit origination capabilities with DigiFT’s licensed distribution infrastructure, signaling growing institutional demand for compliant, on-chain credit markets built on scalable blockchain networks such as Arbitrum.
Arbitrum has been established as a popular choice of infrastructure for these products because of its compatibility with Ethereum, reduced transaction costs, and capability of handling structured financial products. The partnership demonstrates the use of Layer 2 blockchains in bridging conventional credit markets and those on blockchains.

Technical indicators are flashing early signs of a downside exhaustion. A buy signal on the TD sequential indicator has been identified by crypto analyst Ali, indicating selling pressure is weakening in the crypto market; however, this would require the price to reach the $0.20 resistance level or even the $0.225 level on the back of a strong buying volume.
ARB is currently in an obvious weekly trend, with the price closing near the $0.17 level as the token saw an intense rejection off the $0.20 to $0.21 range. This range continues to act as resistance for the token as it continues to fail here multiple times, indicating that sellers remain in control as long as the token does not break above this range.

Moreover, momentum indicators look rather weak. The weekly RSI is currently oscillating around 34. It is near the oversold area and has not yet shown a strong bullish reversal. The MACD is currently below the zero line and is showing bearish momentum that is slowing down. This is an indication of downside exhaustion.
