- Arbitrum became the first layer 2 to surpass $ 300 billion in trade volume at Uniswap.
- Since the beginning of 2025, more than 40% of more than 40% have been surpassed on arbitrum, which exceeded rival networks.
Arbitrum has just written history. For the first time, this Layer 2 solution has succeeded in breaking $ 300 billion in trade volume on Uniswap, making it the first L2 to reach this milestone.
This is not a joke, especially considering how tight the competition between blockchain networks is today. This figure shows how many users trust in the efficiency and scalability of arbitrum compared to other alternatives.
On the other hand, this increase is also in line with the CNF report, which states that the activity on the ARBitrum chain has increased by 40.27% since the beginning of 2025. This figure is quite striking, especially since various other networks, such as Worldchain, Base and Solana, have actually been declined.
From here it starts to see that arbitrum is not only a cheap alternative to Ethereum, but is recognized as an active Defi -Ruggenbraat.
Moreover, it is not only the volume and activity that are prominent. On January 30, the Arbitrum team announced its integration with Zkverify, a modular Layer 1 network with which the proof verification process of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) can be performed more efficiently.
With this integration, the verification costs can be reduced by a maximum of 91%. Imagine that you were a developer who had to verify many transactions every day – this cost difference could mean a longer life for your project.
Arbitrum supports Real-World use cases and daring new ideas
In Q1 2025, Arbitrum still launched an incubator program called Onchain Labs. The focus is on helping projects at an early stage that are still vulnerable in terms of capital and business model. This approach is quite interesting, because arbitrum instead of just being a home for adult projects, opens the space for wild ideas that still have to cherish.
Then there is news from the Bitso Exchange. On March 26, they announced a new Stablecoin that held and published on the Mexican peso through the Arbitrum Network. The goal is clear: to facilitate cross-border payments in the Latin American region.
This is not only technical validation, but also the proof that arbitrum starts to be used for real needs outside the traditional crypto space. Imagine that a model like this would be hired in Southeast – Asia or Africa – the potential can be crazy.
ARB -Toks has strong in the midst of market shifts
In the meantime, the ARB has also seen interesting movement. The price with the neighborhood has risen in the last 24 hours 2.15%. In recent days, the increase in the round has been hit 6%. With a market capitalization of approximately $ 1.4 billion, ARB is at the top of the Layer 2 -Token category.
This means that not only his technology is accepted, but also the market value and trust of investors also accompany it.
