According to CryptoPotato, analysts at VanEck Investment Management predicted in a report released earlier this week that Ethereum's second-layer expansion network will reach a market value of $1 trillion by 2030. This prediction is based on an estimate of Ethereum's 60% market share among all public blockchains and an assessment of the amount of assets within its ecosystem. Patrick Bush, senior digital asset investment analyst at VanEck, and Matthew Sigel, director of digital asset research, pointed out that the second-layer blockchain has the potential to improve Ethereum's scalability and performance. The report also emphasized that second-layer solutions such as Optimistic Roll-Ups and Zero-Knowledge Roll-Ups maintain its core principles of security and decentralization while enhancing Ethereum's transaction processing capabilities. VanEck's analysis predicts that the second-layer network will account for a large amount of transaction value and total locked value (TVL) in the Ethereum ecosystem. Despite being optimistic about the future, analysts are cautious about the long-term value of most second-layer related tokens, believing that "fierce competition" may affect the long-term value of many projects. The report pointed out that Ethereum's top seven second-layer tokens have reached a fully diluted valuation of $40 billion, and more projects will be launched in the coming months.
