During the Oct 10-11, 2025 crypto crash—wiping $19.3B via liquidations—Layer 2 tokens like ARB, OP, and ZK plummeted 15-25%, erasing gains amid BTC's 14% drop to $104K.
Yet, L2s outperformed L1s in volatility resilience, with quick rebounds to $3B+ TVL.
Future potential shines: Scaling Ethereum to 40K TPS via zk-rollups & optimistic tech, boosting DeFi/NFT adoption amid ETF inflows; analysts eye 20% activity surge & $250K BTC by EOY, unlocking trillions in utility.
