The cryptocurrency market has been on a rollercoaster this month, with sharp volatility leading to a 10.80% drop in the total crypto market capitalization, now standing at $2.05 trillion. This downturn hasn't spared Ethereum's Layer 2 networks, which have also seen a noticeable decline in their Total Value Locked (TVL).
According to recent data from L2BEAT, the TVL across Ethereum Layer 2 networks has fallen to $36.05 billion, reflecting a 3.71% decrease over the past seven days. This drop is significant, considering the vital role these Layer 2 solutions play in scaling Ethereum and reducing transaction fees.
The top five Layer 2 networks by TVL have all been affected, with Arbitrum One $ARB leading the pack. Arbitrum One's TVL currently stands at $14.79 billion, down by 2.70% over the past week. Following closely is Base, with a TVL of $6.11 billion, which has experienced a 4.31% decline. The $OP Mainnet has not been spared either, with its TVL now at $5.51 billion after a 4.96% drop.
Blast, another Layer 2 network, saw its TVL decrease by 4.73%, bringing it to $1.73 billion. Mantle, however, had a relatively minor decline of 0.84%, with its TVL now at $1.19 billion.
This decline in TVL across Ethereum's Layer 2 networks highlights the broader impact of the current market downturn. As the crypto market navigates these turbulent times, it remains to be seen how these Layer 2 solutions will adapt and whether they can regain their lost value in the coming weeks.
