Arbitrum One also stands out from its competitors with a total locked-in value (TVL) in excess of $14.3 billion. This record figure consolidates its position as the undisputed market leader in Layer 2 solutions.
Dynamism Supported by the Arrival of Major New Players
Paxos, a major player in stablecoins, has joined forces with Arbitrum One. This is to facilitate the integration of traditional assets on the blockchain. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies by financial institutions. Walter Hessert is head of strategy at Paxos. The latter emphasizes the importance of this partnership:
