The period where the rising TVL also coincided with high-network activity on the L2 network was a time of significant growth for the platform. The daily transaction per second on Arbitrum’s network rose by a staggering 80.82%, reaching 10.82. This shows that the platform was able to handle the increased activity and meet the demand of its users.

According to DeFillama data, GMX is the dominant DeFi protocol on Arbitrum, controlling 28.27% of its total TVL. This makes it an essential project for the platform as it contributes significantly to the platform’s growth.

Interestingly, the platform has also witnessed an increase in its stablecoin inflow. This is a testament to the platform’s ability to attract more users as it provides a stable environment for trading cryptocurrencies. For example, despite the recent issues plaguing the dominant stablecoin on its ecosystem, USD Coin (USDC), Arbitrum’s USD inflow still climbed by 9%, reaching $1.59 billion.

During the period, we also saw more inflow of Tether’s USDT and algorithmic stablecoin DAI into the network as against USDC. This shows that the platform is not overly reliant on one stablecoin and can still maintain its growth even if one of the stablecoins experiences issues.
