#CryptoStocks Layer 2 Ethereum reserves are declining:
ETH reserves on layer 2 networks have decreased overall by 25%, with Optimism seeing the largest drop of 54% since March 2025.
Weakening L2 token prices, increasing ETH staking, and migration to the mainnet reflect changing investor priorities towards long-term value.
Large wallet relocations are increasing selling pressure, threatening the significance of L2 networks in the face of mainnet profits.
