ARB price set ATH, TVL exceeded 10 billion USD mark
The early days of 2024 are witnessing the “breakthrough” power of the Layer-2 wave, when most platform coins achieve significant growth.
According to information from L2Beat, the Total Value Locked (TVL) of the Layer-2 Arbitrum One network has increased nearly 16% in just 7 days, to a significant level of 10.22 billion USD. This is not only a significant growth, but also brings Arbitrum One past the $10 billion threshold, officially affirming its position as a Layer-2 network with outstanding performance.

Considered the main competitor of Arbitrum One, Op Mainnet (Optimism) is no less competitive, recording a Total Value (TVL) of up to 6.34 billion USD, an increase of nearly 10% in the same period.
It is clear that Arbitrum and OP are dominating the Layer-2 race, especially when it comes to Total Value Locked, with the TVL of these two networks alone reaching billions of USD.
The third ranked network has a much more “modest” TVL, only reaching 748 million USD. However, this is a notable achievement for Metis, with an “acceleration” after announcing a growth incentive package, surpassing major competitors such as Base, zkSync Era,…
Back to Arbitrum, ETH and ARB account for the largest shares on the network, 30.9% and 23.68% respectively. This is followed closely by stablecoins with around 30%.

In the last 7 days, ARB has achieved significant growth of up to 45%, and even increased by more than 70% in just 14 days. If looking at the 30-day time frame, the token price has also increased by 68%, showing a steady growth trend in the last month of 2023.
The entire cryptocurrency market is entering a positive phase with optimism in the early days of 2024, especially as expectations for the SEC’s decision to approve the spot Bitcoin ETF are getting closer. Other Layer-2 projects are also expected to have positive performance under Arbitrum’s leadership.
