Layer 2 ecosystems are becoming increasingly robust, and the value capture logic of projects like ARB is also becoming clearer.
⚡ Despite growing competition from newer blockchains, Ethereum continues maintaining dominance across institutional DeFi and tokenization infrastructure.
Most major institutions entering blockchain markets are still building on Ethereum because of:
▫️ Deep liquidity
▫️ Strong security
▫️ Mature infrastructure
▫️ Large developer ecosystem
Ethereum also remains a leader in:
▫️ RWAs
▫️ Stablecoin settlement
▫️ Layer-2 scaling
▫️ Tokenized finance infrastructure
Projects closely tied to this ecosystem include:
▫️ $ETH
▫️ $ARB
▫️ $ONDO
While high-speed chains continue attracting retail attention, Ethereum still controls a large portion of institutional blockchain activity underneath the surface.
Retail often follows narratives.
Institutions usually follow infrastructure.
And right now, Ethereum remains one of the strongest infrastructure plays in crypto.
