#Arbitrum Just Flipped the Game
In just 7 days, $ARB  has dominated cross-chain bridge inflows with a massive $656M in net inflow, according to DefiLlama (via BlockBeats). 🔥
That’s more than 8x #Solana  and Unichain, which saw $81.11M and $79.98M respectively.
But here’s the kicker👇
🔻 #Ethereum ? - $390M
🔻 #Bera ? - $78.98M
🔻 #Avalanche ? - $32.41M
It’s clear: Liquidity is rotating, and Arbitrum is soaking it up.
Whether it’s the low gas, L2 hype, or dApp momentum — Arbitrum is becoming the go-to chain right now.
📌 Key Takeaway
Arbitrum isn’t just a sidechain anymore. It’s leading the pack.

On June 4, 2025, Berachain activated its long-anticipated Bectra upgrade, a hard fork that introduced core components from Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra update directly into the Berachain mainnet. While Ethereum prepares for this shift, Berachain is already executing — offering developers and users these tools ahead of the curve. This is more than just a technical iteration — it’s a deliberate move to position Berachain as the most advanced EVM-compatible blockchain.
What Changed on the Technical Level
The upgrade introduced several network-level innovations:
Unstaking unlocked. Validators can now withdraw both rewards and principal from staked $BERA — similar to Ethereum’s Shanghai. This increases flexibility in the Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) model and enables native restaking opportunities.Account Abstraction (EIP-7702). Any EOA (externally owned account) can now behave like a smart contract. This unlocks UX features like subscriptions, batch transactions, and fee payments in HONEY — Berachain’s native stablecoin.Support for Pectra EIPs. Berachain now implements several key Ethereum proposals: BLS12-381 precompile, historical block hash access (EIP-2935), proto-danksharding prep (EIP-7840), triggerable withdrawals, and unified execution APIs — pushing L1 scalability forward today, not tomorrow.Improvements for developers and node operators. Enhanced WebSocket stability, better tracking of pending stakes and withdrawals, and client synchronization updates reduce overhead and make Berachain more reliable for DeFi infrastructure.
Importantly, all these upgrades preserved full EVM compatibility. Over 200 existing dApps continued to function without interruption. Node software (BeaconKit v1.2.0 and updated Execution Layer) was coordinated in advance, and the hard fork was executed without incident.
Why This Might Be Bigger Than It Looks
Bectra feels less like a scheduled upgrade and more like a proof of maturity and agility. By adopting features that Ethereum itself hasn’t shipped yet, Berachain may:
Attract developers tired of long Ethereum roadmaps.Make onboarding easier for users, by simplifying wallet recovery, reducing friction in gas payments, and enabling automation.Draw interest from the DeFi sector, especially with restaking infrastructure and flexible staking mechanics now native to the protocol.
Signs of this are already surfacing: Everclear and Kyber Network are building cross-chain bridges to Berachain. If the ecosystem leans into these innovations, we may see a Base- or Solana-style explosion in adoption — but this time built on liquidity and infrastructure, not speculation alone.
What’s Happening with the BERA Token
After its mainnet launch in February 2025, $BERA spiked to ~$14 before falling into a consolidation phase between $2.20 and $2.60. The Bectra upgrade could become a pivot point — but not necessarily immediately. The outcome may depend on how the market digests the new features and whether usage metrics follow.
Increased liquidity from unstaking could add short-term sell pressure, as long-locked tokens re-enter circulation.Stronger long-term positioning may emerge from demand-side features like LSD token development and modular DeFi strategies that depend on restakable assets.
Technical Market Analysis
Support levels: $2.20–$2.30 remains a key demand zone. A breakdown could expose $1.85, though buying interest has held so far.Resistance zones: $2.95–$3.10 is the next logical ceiling, with $3.60 as a broader pivot level from previous market reactions.Volume & liquidity: Trading volumes hover between $60–65M/day. Roughly 43% of liquidity sits in the $2.35–$2.65 range — making it the current fair value cluster.RSI: Neutral at ~48.MACD: Slight bullish crossover; confirmation via volume still pending.
Whale Behavior
Outflows from CEX to wallets and DeFi grew ahead of the fork — likely positioning for staking withdrawals and experimentation.Validator addresses have begun testing withdrawals — modest in size but indicative of confidence in the upgrade mechanics.No aggressive accumulation from whales observed yet, but average transaction size has increased — suggesting possible stealth positioning post-fork.
If LSDs based on BERA emerge soon and new activity surges around account abstraction wallets, it could indicate a buildup phase in motion.
Looking Ahead: One Week Perspective
In the short term, markets may remain cautious — unlocked stake introduces some uncertainty. But if the network remains stable and we see upward trends in user activity, this moment could be remembered as a turning point.
If $BERA sees adoption in new restaking layers, if wallet developers start integrating AA-native features, and if DeFi liquidity flows rise, this might mark the beginning of Berachain’s growth phase. Price alone won’t capture that — but fundamentals might.
Conclusion
Bectra isn’t just another hard fork. It’s a test: can a new L1 keep pace with — or even surpass — Ethereum’s execution roadmap? Berachain seems ready to answer “yes.” The only question now is: will the market see it, and when?
