According to Lex Sokolin, banks need compliant stablecoins, those stablecoins require secure networks, and those networks need ETH, establishing a direct linkage between bank adoption and ETH demand for network security and alignment (source: Lex Sokolin, X post on Aug 17, 2025: https://twitter.com/LexSokolin/status/1957175454755946949). He further states that proprietary EVM chains from Circle and Stripe are not a good idea, signaling a preference for leveraging ETH-secured networks over corporate-owned chains for compliant stablecoin scale (source: Lex Sokolin, X post on Aug 17, 2025: https://twitter.com/LexSokolin/status/1957175454755946949). For traders, this positions ETH as the primary asset underpinning secure settlement for bank-grade stablecoins, while corporate EVM chains face a negative assessment in this framework (source: Lex Sokolin, X post on Aug 17, 2025: https://twitter.com/LexSokolin/status/1957175454755946949).

According to @secondswap_io, while EVM chains are still tackling network fragmentation, Solana has successfully addressed scalability, shifting the primary challenge to exit liquidity for traders. SecondSwap is quickly emerging as a critical market tool for managing this influx of liquidity, offering efficient solutions for large-scale exits and swaps on the Solana blockchain. This development could potentially enhance the overall liquidity environment and improve trading execution for crypto market participants, especially as Solana's high throughput attracts more users and volume (Source: @secondswap_io, May 27, 2025).

According to Miles Deutscher, recent net-flow activities have shown a significant movement of assets from Solana to EVM-compatible chains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum (Hyperliquid), Base, and Avalanche. This redistribution of assets suggests traders are seeking new opportunities as the activity on Solana decreases, potentially impacting liquidity and trading volumes across these platforms.

According to ZachXBT, Avalanche has a block explorer maintained by Etherscan called Snowscan. This information clarifies that, besides Ethereum and other EVM chains, Avalanche also benefits from Etherscan's block explorer services.
