📊 ETH is flowing out of L2: What does this mean for Arbitrum and Starknet holders?
Since the beginning of 2025, Layer-2 networks have been losing activity:
ETH on Optimism has dropped by 54%
On Arbitrum –17%, Base –14%
Even Starknet is showing a decrease in interactions
🔍 Reasons:
— Pressure on native tokens (ARB –21%, OP –38%)
— Outflow of large wallets
— Focus on staking and storing ETH on mainnet
⚠️ For ARB and STRK holders, this may mean:
Less liquidity and activity
Risks of short-term price decline
But also a chance for long-term accumulation
My opinion as an active user:
Arbitrum is still stronger in the ecosystem, Starknet is promising in the ZK segment. Personally, I am maintaining my share, but I am monitoring TVL and the development of the networks.
