Arkham Intelligence to Launch Spot Exchange for Users in 17 U.S. States

Arkham Intelligence, the blockchain analytics firm, has announced its launching a crypto exchange. Starting March 1, users across seventeen U.S. states will gain access to spot trading on the Arkham Exchange, marking a bold step in the company’s mission to shake up a market long dominated by giants like Coinbase, Binance, and Gemini.

This isn’t some spontaneous pivot. Arkham’s been laying the groundwork, building on the successful rollout of its USDT-based perpetuals platform last year. Now, it’s bringing spot trading to a hefty chunk of the U.S., covering states like California, Colorado, Hawaii, and Massachusetts, all the way to Montana, Wyoming, and more.

Token Surge and Security Wins Fuel Momentum

The timing couldn’t be better. Arkham’s native token, ARKM, is riding a wave of hype, surging 11.5% in just the past twenty-four hours to hit $0.69, according to Gecko Terminal. The Arkham token currently has a total market value of $257 million.

Arkham recently handed over a hefty 50,000 ARKM token bounty to security sleuth ZachXBT for linking the jaw-dropping $1.5 billion Bybit hack to North Korea’s notorious Lazarus Group.
