Arbitrum (ARB) Down 70% in 3 Months — TVL at ATH and DEX Volume Rising: Analyst Flags Possible Mispricing and Re-Rating Setup

According to Michaël van de Poppe, Arbitrum (ARB) has fallen roughly 70% over the past three months while still serving as a core layer for tokenizing assets, indicating potential mispricing, source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Dec 4, 2025. He states that Arbitrum’s TVL is printing new all-time highs, DEX volumes are increasing, and the number of ecosystem applications is expanding weekly, signaling fundamental growth despite price weakness, source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Dec 4, 2025. He notes active addresses are below late-2023 levels, attributing it to broader market drawdowns rather than chain-specific deterioration, source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Dec 4, 2025. He recommends combining technical indicators on ARB with these fundamentals to spot reversal points and a potential re-rating toward fair value over a longer horizon, source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Dec 4, 2025.

Ethereum (ETH) Sets Record 32,950 TPS; L2 Activity Dominated by Lighters With Only ~$685/Day On-Chain Fees

According to @simplykashif, Ethereum reached an all-time high peak throughput of 32,950 transactions per second (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 3, 2025). According to @simplykashif, Lighters account for about 90% of daily Layer-2 TPS (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 3, 2025). According to @simplykashif, despite this load, Lighters pay only around $685 per day in on-chain fees (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 3, 2025). For traders, these metrics are relevant because Ethereum base fees are burned under EIP-1559 and validator income is tied to priority fees and MEV, so shifts in L2 execution versus L1 activity can influence gas burn and fee capture (source: Ethereum.org documentation on EIP-1559 and staking).

Cardano Hydra HFT Simulation in Development: @ItsDave_ADA Targets Nasdaq-Style Operations With Periodic L1 Settlement — Key Takeaways for ADA Traders

According to @ItsDave_ADA, he is building an interactive high-frequency simulation of basic Wall Street and Nasdaq-style exchange operations on Cardano’s Hydra, with the goal of periodic reporting to layer 1 for settlement, highlighting Hydra’s practical capability beyond theory. Source: https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1995120125494616448 He states there is currently no public demo and he is uncertain whether the system will work as intended, emphasizing the effort is exploratory R&D at this stage. Source: https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1995120125494616448 He adds that Hydra is not merely theoretical and can support more advanced use cases, aiming to counter claims that minimize Hydra’s utility. Source: https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1995120125494616448 For traders, the work centers on exchange-style throughput, latency, and periodic L1 settlement properties relevant to order book DEX design and market-making on Cardano, while he seeks community support via stake pool delegations to continue experimentation.

Ethereum (ETH) Native Rollup Debate: @Gajpower Urges New L2Beat Stage and Stricter Color Coding for Layer-2 Risk

According to @Gajpower, non-native rollups should not be considered rollups on Ethereum and L2Beat should add a new post-Stage-2 "native" category where only that stage is fully green and all other stages, including Stage 2, are shifted toward red for stricter signaling, source: https://twitter.com/Gajpower/status/1993296638358831225 source: https://x.com/zeamETH/status/1993295591255032133. The comment targets L2Beat’s existing Stages framework for evaluating rollup maturity and security while L2Beat also tracks major ETH Layer-2s such as Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum (ARB), providing context for how any stricter “native” emphasis would relate to dashboard labeling, source: https://l2beat.com/scaling/transparency source: https://l2beat.com/scaling/projects/optimism source: https://l2beat.com/scaling/projects/arbitrum.

Camilla McFarland Claims Ethereum (ETH) and L2s Lead Stablecoin Volume — Trading Playbook for USDT and USDC Flows

According to @camillionaire_m, way over half of stablecoin volume runs on Ethereum and its Layer 2 networks, highlighting where settlement and liquidity may concentrate for stablecoin trading pairs. Source: @camillionaire_m, Twitter, Nov 14, 2025. She argues that choosing non-Ethereum rails for company stablecoin infrastructure is suboptimal, implying traders and firms may prioritize ETH and L2 venues for execution and settlement. Source: @camillionaire_m, Twitter, Nov 14, 2025. Based on this view, a practical approach is to route USDT and USDC flows primarily through Ethereum mainnet and major L2s, monitor gas costs and throughput as activity proxies, and compare spreads versus alternative chains before executing.

Ethereum (ETH) 'Fusaka' Upgrade Claims for Dec 3: 3 Key Verifications on Verkle Trees, PeerDAS, and Gas Limit Before Trading

According to @BullTheoryio, an Ethereum upgrade dubbed Fusaka is claimed to go live on Dec 3, lifting block gas capacity to 150M from 45M and adding PeerDAS and Verkle Trees to make Layer-2 transactions cheaper and verification lighter, which they say could raise ETH fee burn and demand. Source: @BullTheoryio. There is no official Ethereum Foundation or AllCoreDevs confirmation of a mainnet upgrade named Fusaka or a Dec 3 date in publicly documented materials through late 2024, and Verkle Trees did not have a finalized mainnet activation timeline in those sources. Sources: Ethereum Foundation blog; Ethereum AllCoreDevs updates. The claim that a prior upgrade called Pectra triggered a 50% weekly ETH rally conflicts with recorded upgrade history, where Shanghai/Capella occurred in April 2023 and Dencun in March 2024, with no mainnet Pectra executed in that period. Source: Ethereum Foundation blog release history. Trading takeaway: treat Dec 3 as an unverified catalyst; before positioning, confirm an official announcement plus client release notes with a mainnet fork block number across multiple clients such as Geth and Nethermind, and monitor ETH spot, funding, and options implied volatility for rumor-driven swings. Sources: Ethereum client teams’ release process documented by Geth and Nethermind; Ethereum Foundation blog; @BullTheoryio.
