Just crossed with this Leon Arbitrum "recap" tweet that shows how this L2s have improved and done a lot for Ethereum ecosystem this 2025. Arbitrum, the home of our beloved Ethtrader socialfi token DONUT.
As the tweet states and something that its true because I haven't seen this taking a big spot in 2025, Arbitrum quietly has become a major driver of tokenization growth as you can see in the chart above, passing $10M of Tokenized Securities value in November.
As we have noticed while the most crypto discussion was stuck on price action, ETFs and the classic L1 vs L2 dramas, something really important was happening in the background in the whole Ethereum ecosystem but also a lot on Arbitrum. Tokenization was scaling and Arbitrum was playing a big role that a lot of people didn't notice.
As I said before, by November, tokenized securities on Arbitrum crossed the $10M mark in the market value. This does not feel like a huge number compared to DeFi TVL numbers but we have to remember that tokenized securities are still early, heavily regulated and they are very infrastructure dependent right now. Institutions are choosing their chains to trust and looks like this is not stopping, it keeps stepping up. No experimentation, there is a clear trend.
This is important because tokenization is one of the strongest long term narratives in crypto. RWAs, securities, funds, this is how TradFi and crypto actually merge and we are witnessing it. Most of them choosing Ethereum ecosystem for it.
In other words, if you are here for the money, Ethereum ecosystem is a really solid choice. Maybe you will have to wait because of markets but in the end, you will be rewarded.
Don't miss the chance to jump early in a rocket. 2026 looks promising.

That’s the beauty of Ethereum and its ecosystem they achieve such milestones without any hype or marketing.
*Arbitrum is my favourite L2 for a reason.*

I guess ARB is popular for a reason. Particularly on reddit as its the L2 of choice for reddit tokens.
