October felt like the confirmation round for @arbitrum fundamentals finally catching up with sentiment. $4.1M in collected fees, the highest since mid-2024, 108M transactions, and $12B in net inflows all pointing to one thing: real activity, not wash cycles. The network isn’t just busy; it’s profitable and growing faster than any other L2 in both user and liquidity metrics. ❯ Fees up = organic demand ❯ Record TX count = sticky users ❯ Massive inflows = capital conviction Each data point signals deeper adoption, not temporary hype. The combination of DRIP liquidity, stablecoin velocity, and integrations across GMX, Pendle, Fluid, and Aave keeps the flywheel spinning. When fundamentals hit ATHs while token price still lags, it usually means the next phase is brewing quietly on-chain. Whatever comes next, the numbers say arbitrum’s ready for it.
