The Arbitrum network has moved beyond the gas-fee story and is playing a heavy institutional game to dominate liquidity
The Stylus weapon: it allowed Web2 developers to build on the blockchain in their traditional languages (Rust and C++), which means a direct bridge for major traditional companies to enter the network
The liquidity black hole: its capture of the second-largest liquidity (TVL) among L2 networks made it the first magnet for institutional money and RWA projects (such as Franklin Templeton funds) fleeing Ethereum’s costs
So the project has transformed from just an accelerator for $ETH into enterprise-ready infrastructure that combines deep liquidity with developers from outside the sector
Will the Stylus update settle the competition in Arbitrum’s favor $ARB as the first choice for companies compared with Optimism $OP ?
