Crypto X Hates Arkham’s New Paywall. ARKM Token Jumps 8% Anyway

Arkham launched a paid Enterprise tier for its on-chain analytics platform on October 20, restricting free users to 100 recent transactions per address and cutting access to full transaction history and filtering. The Enterprise plan costs $1,500 a month after a trial for approved users; the Tracer 2.0 fund-tracking tool and some labeling features moved to paid accounts, while free users retained Arkham’s labels, Visualizer 2.0 and the block explorer. Arkham also offered grants giving independent investigators and public-interest researchers free Enterprise access. Criticism came from Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik and from a user named Dominium, who said the paywall could shield bad actors; the ARKM token nonetheless traded at $0.1276, up about 8% over 24 hours.
