Arkham Enterprise paywall sparks backlash as ARKM token jumps 8%

Arkham launched its Enterprise paywall on October 20, restricting free users to 100 recent transactions per address and moving Tracer 2.0 and custom labels to paid accounts. Despite community criticism that the move undermines blockchain transparency, the ARKM token rose approximately 8% to $0.1276, with 24-hour trading volume surging over 65% to nearly $11 million. Arkham also announced grants offering free Enterprise access to independent investigators and public-interest researchers.
