ETH is finally showing strength against BTC and others. I think it’s time to pay more attention to the ETH ecosystem, especially ETH Layer 2s. @arbitrum is the first chain launched on Ethereum Layer 2 and has attracted significant attention for a long time after its launch. Recently, #Robinhood chose Arbitrum One for their tokenized US on-chain stock. Combined with stablecoin supply and the rapidly growing #RWA sector on the chain, I believe Arbitrum is ready for the next leg! – The TVL on Arbitrum is holding at $4.38B, ranked #7 among chains and #2 among Layer 2s. – Daily active addresses on the chain are around 400K, with 2-2.5M transactions per day. – Arbitrum is still struggling with DEX trading volume since December 2024. At the moment, Arbitrum is only executing $500-800M in daily volume. – #Uniswap, #GMX, and #Aave are still dominating Arbitrum with fees around ~$300K/day, making up 40.5% of application revenue. 📌 Lastly, here are some top projects by TVL on the chain: 🥇 @aave | Lending | $1.65B TVL The king of EVM lending, owns 37.6% of Arbitrum’s TVL. 🥈 @GMX_IO | Perp DEX | $462.6M TVL OG perps protocol on Arbitrum. Still one of the best-native trading venues. 🥉 @Uniswap | AMM DEX | $312.9M TVL Uniswap dominates AMM volume across EVM. #1 DEX on Arbitrum by volume. 4️⃣ @compoundfinance | Lending | $237.8M TVL Cross-chain lending veteran with $50M+ in annualized fees. 5️⃣ @0xfluid| DeFi Infra | $171M TVL A liquidity layer that combines lending, trading, and borrowing into one seamless UX. 6️⃣ @Spiko_finance | RWA | $163.6M TVL The biggest RWA play on Arbitrum. Regulated in France and investing in US/EU T-Bills. → As ETH regains momentum, I expect Arbitrum to quietly lead a new wave of activity, not through memecoins, but through real use cases like RWAs, stables, and modular #DeFi infra.
