Ethereum’s (ETH) scaling efforts are bearing fruit in 2025 as Layer-2 networks like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base reach all-time high usage. These networks offer faster and cheaper transactions while still leveraging Ethereum’s security. Combined TVL (Total Value Locked) across Layer-2s has surpassed $50 billion, showing robust user and developer adoption.
ETH itself has rebounded above $4,000 amid expectations of future upgrades to improve staking and decentralization.
