Billions are disappearing from Layer 2s… or are they? Layer 2 TVL has dropped to $30.07B, down 19% YoY, hitting its lowest point in the past year. Is this an actual liquidity outflow, or is TVL simply adjusting due to falling token prices? Top 5 L2s Hold 90%+ of TVL, But All Are Down 1️⃣ @arbitrum : $11.81B (-5.86%) 2️⃣ @base : $10.39B (-6.75%) 3️⃣ @Optimism : $3.85B (-10.5%) 4️⃣ @zksync : $650.57M (-15.3%) 5️⃣ @Starknet : $487.89M (-12.7%) Bridge Flows – Is Liquidity Leaving? Instead of just looking at TVL, bridge inflows vs. outflows tell us whether users are actually withdrawing: 🔴 Optimism ($846M in monthly bridge volume) → Deposits exceed withdrawals, meaning its TVL drop is mostly market-driven. 🟡 Mode ($12.83M in monthly bridge volume) → Deposits exceed withdrawals, showing net liquidity inflow. 💙 🧡 Arbitrum ($4.85B in monthly bridge volume) → Consistently net negative flows since January, withdrawals exceeding deposits. Arbitrum’s Outflows – A Cause for Concern? • January 2025: -$445M net outflow • February 2025: -$444M net outflow • March 2025 (so far): -$124M net outflow Arbitrum has seen consistent net outflows since December 2024, but are withdrawals excessively large relative to deposits? → Withdrawals are only ~6-10% larger than deposits—not insignificant, but not a collapse either. → Deposits remain high, meaning capital is still flowing into Arbitrum despite steady net outflows. → This looks more like capital rotation than a liquidity crisis. Token Dependency – Why TVL is declining A significant portion of L2 TVL is in non-stable assets, meaning its value fluctuates with the market. Here’s how much of each rollup’s TVL is NOT stablecoins: • Arbitrum: 51.74% (ARB + ETH + Others) • Optimism: 81.84% (OP + ETH + Others) • zkSync Era: 77.94% (ZK + ETH + Others) • Starknet: 87.32% (STRK + ETH + Others) • Base: 56.14% (ETH + Others) Since TVL is not just stablecoins, its decline is largely a result of token price depreciation rather than capital outflows. Key Takeaways • TVL decline ≠ mass liquidity exit. Most of the drop is due to token price depreciation, not heavy withdrawals. • Over half of TVL in major L2s is NOT in stablecoins, meaning price fluctuations have an outsized impact. • The top 5 rollups hold over 90% of TVL, making their movements critical for overall trends. • Arbitrum is seeing sustained outflows since January, but not at crisis levels. What’s Next? • If withdrawals accelerate, L2s may need stronger incentives to retain liquidity. • If deposits recover, it confirms capital rotation rather than an ecosystem-wide exit. For now, this is more about market sentiment than an L2 liquidity crisis.

Software intelligence firm Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), now operating as Strategy, announced on March 10 that it has launched a $21 billion at-the-market (ATM) stock offering program. The initiative allows Strategy to sell shares of its newly issued 8.00% Series A perpetual strike preferred stock (STRK) in the open market, with proceeds designated for corporate purposes, particularly bitcoin acquisitions. The timing of the announcement comes as bitcoin has seen a sharp decline in recent days, suggesting that Strategy may be positioning itself to buy the dip. The company emphasized that it will conduct sales strategically, taking market conditions and liquidity into account. Under the ATM program, Strategy’s perpetual strike preferred stock will be convertible into its Class A common stock, aligning with the company’s long-term financial strategy of integrating bitcoin into its corporate treasury. The company stated: Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital. The offering is being carried out under an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Jan. 27. Strategy reassured investors that the sale complies with regulatory requirements and does not constitute an immediate solicitation to sell shares where such offers would be unlawful. Since rebranding from Microstrategy to Strategy, the firm has remained committed to aggressively accumulating BTC. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has continued to advocate for bitcoin, predicting it could reach $13 million by 2045, with scenarios ranging from a bull case of $49 million to a bear case of $3 million. Saylor has recently engaged with regulators, meeting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s Crypto Task Force and the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. He also attended the first ever White House Crypto Summit hosted by President Donald Trump. Strategy currently hodls 499,096 BTC, purchased at an average price of $66,357 per bitcoin, amounting to approximately $33.1 billion. With bitcoin’s price recently falling, the company’s latest stock offering suggests it sees the decline as an opportunity to further bolster its holdings. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
