According to Crypto Rover, significant capital is pouring into Ethereum ($ETH) and Layer 2 (L2) solutions, indicating increased investor confidence and heightened trading activity in these segments of the crypto market (source: Crypto Rover, Twitter, June 8, 2025). This trend suggests that traders are positioning for potential price appreciation and network growth, making $ETH and leading L2 tokens like Arbitrum and Optimism key assets to watch for short-term volatility and long-term upside. The influx of funds into these assets is expected to drive higher liquidity and trading volumes across major crypto exchanges.

According to Flood (@ThinkingUSD) on Twitter, investing in L1 and L2 tokens implies a belief that blockchain technology will not evolve significantly and that current transaction solutions are already optimal. Flood argues that this bet also assumes user-facing front ends will remain loyal to a specific blockchain, rather than seeking opportunities across different chains. For crypto traders, this highlights the risk that advancing technology or shifting user interfaces could erode the value proposition of existing L1 and L2 tokens, potentially affecting token prices and trading strategies (source: Flood, Twitter, May 30, 2025).

According to Vitalik Buterin, he plans to donate all proceeds from his Layer 2 (L2) tokens and other project tokens, including those that are not yet liquid. The donations will either support public goods within the Ethereum ecosystem or go towards broader charitable causes, such as biomedical research and development. Additionally, Buterin stated that he does not intend to invest in L2s or other similar projects.
