Decline of Optimism and Arbitrum Blockchains Amid Market Volatility

The recent market volatility brought about by the US elections has negatively impacted many crypto projects, including Layer 2 blockchains like Optimism and Arbitrum.

The Situation with Optimism and Arbitrum Blockchains

Optimism and Arbitrum blockchains are experiencing downturns amid bearish market conditions. Recent volatility resulted in a 15% monthly decline for Optimism, while Arbitrum also faced significant price drops. Despite Arbitrum's on-chain growth, with TVL reaching $2.3 billion in January, its value has been steadily declining.

Rollblock's Growth Amid Volatility

While Optimism and Arbitrum suffer, Rollblock blockchain is growing amid market instability, attracting investors with its unique revenue-sharing program, leading to a 300% increase in its token's value. Investors are attracted by passive income opportunities and future staking prospects, resulting in successful token presales and $5 million raised.

Current Prospects and Price Changes

Despite price declines, interest in Arbitrum remains, as evidenced by a 10% increase in open interest to $135 million over the last three days. Optimism, facing a 15% drop over the last 30 days, has shown growth in the last 24 hours, rising over 10%, due to whale activity and Kraken's announcement regarding the OP Stack framework.

Despite the bearish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, certain projects like Rollblock continue to exhibit significant growth by attracting investors with innovative solutions. Meanwhile, Optimism and Arbitrum remain challenged in regaining their positions.
