CoinJiew.com Report:
This year, the transaction activities of Ethereum’s second-layer solutions Arbitrum (ARB) and Optimism (OP) have significantly increased. According to data from IntoTheBlock, the transaction volume of both networks has quadrupled in the past year, with a significant increase in the second quarter after the integration of Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 4844. This proposal aims to enhance the scalability of Ethereum by introducing a new type of transaction that handles data more efficiently.
Arbitrum and Optimism Transaction Volume
Analysis by Growthepie shows that Arbitrum has achieved more significant growth compared to Optimism since the beginning of the year. Although ARB transactions initially remained below 1 million, they surged after March and reached a peak of about 2.6 million on June 26. In contrast, Optimism’s transaction volume surpassed 800,000 in early April but has since declined, with the current volume exceeding 409,000. Visit NEWSLINKER for the latest technology news.
Why is TVL decreasing despite the increase in transactions?
Despite the increase in transaction volume, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on both platforms has decreased. Data from DeFiLlama shows that Arbitrum’s TVL exceeded $3.1 billion in March but has recently dropped to around $2.7 billion. Similarly, Optimism’s TVL exceeded $1 billion in March and has now decreased to approximately $665 million. These declines may be attributed to changes in investor sentiment, overall market conditions, or specific events within the layer-two networks.
Decrease in ARB and OP Prices
The market prices of ARB and OP tokens are both in a downward trend. The OP token faces strong resistance above the $2.2 level and is currently trading at around $1.7, with less than a 1% increase. Similarly, ARB is struggling to maintain stability around $1, with the current trading price at around $0.7. Failing to meet investors’ expectations has led to disappointment and loss of confidence in these two projects, evident in their price levels.
Key Takeaways for Investors
The transaction volume of Arbitrum and Optimism has significantly increased. Despite the growth in transactions, the TVL on both platforms has decreased. The prices of ARB and OP tokens are in a downward trend, resulting in investor frustration. Market conditions and investor sentiment play a crucial role in the valuation of these layer-two solutions.
As second-layer solutions continue to evolve, monitoring transaction volume, TVL, and token prices remain essential for understanding their market performance and potential future growth.
