The rise and fall of OP indeed has a certain significance as a "Ethereum altcoin barometer".
Currently, various L2s have basically adopted chains based on the OP Stack, including Base and Sony among others. As long as these chains have users trading and generating income on them, they will ultimately provide a share of that to OP.
From a medium to long-term perspective, this model could allow OP to become a "too big to fail" ETH giant, with its position becoming increasingly solid as the ecosystem develops.
If conditions allow, OP can take proactive measures at any time: reclaim its own tokens, reduce circulation, and stabilize prices; thereby further stimulating the ETH ecosystem and driving overall market sentiment.
This model is akin to paving a "highway" for OP's continuous appreciation, and its future potential is worth looking forward to!
