Arbitrum is a top Ethereum Layer-2 network, favored for high DeFi activity, deep liquidity, and strong developer adoption. It’s a major driver of Ethereum’s “low-fee DeFi” narrative: users can execute swaps, borrowing, and yield strategies with far lower gas costs than Ethereum mainnet while inheriting Ethereum security assumptions. DefiLlama’s chain metrics list Arbitrum with ~$5.42B TVL and ~$4.38B in stablecoins, plus substantial 24h DEX volume (~$434M)–all strong signals of real usage. For institutional adoption, Arbitrum’s stablecoin depth is particularly relevant for payments and tokenized money-market activity.
Key metrics: TVL ~ $5.42B; stablecoins ~ $4.38B (DefiLlama chain data).
