Layer-2 and Layer-1 Market Update: ARB, STRK and APT Under Pressure
Arbitrum is trading near $0.2039, down -10.29% from its 24-hour open of $0.2273. After reaching a high of $0.2300, ARB fell to a low of $0.2028 and is currently holding close to that lower boundary. The move reflects meaningful short-term selling pressure and highlights how sensitive Layer-2 tokens remain to broader altcoin liquidity conditions.
Starknet is changing hands around $0.04250, down a modest -1.37% over the same period. STRK traded between $0.03766 and $0.04806, showing a wide intraday range but a comparatively smaller net decline than ARB and APT. This relative resilience suggests that buyers have been more active during pullbacks, although volatility remains elevated.
Aptos is trading around $0.717, lower by -3.50% from its 24-hour open of $0.743. APT reached $0.783 before retreating to a low of $0.696, indicating that early upside momentum was unable to hold. The current price action points to cautious positioning across Layer-1 exposure, with broader market sentiment still shaping near-term direction.
The key takeaway is that STRK is showing the strongest relative stability, APT is experiencing a moderate retracement, and ARB is facing the sharpest pressure. These assets remain highly reactive to changes in altcoin demand, trading volume, and overall risk sentiment.
