The most honest flow of funds

In just one week, about $16 billion flowed through cross-chain bridges, and this number alone says everything. Let's look at the performance of various chains during this cycle—Arbitrum remains the leader, Hyperliquid attracted a large influx of funds, and Base is quietly accumulating, with billions of assets settling on this chain.

Why does money flow to these places? It's simple: where there is deep liquidity, smooth user experience, and reasonable yield mechanisms, capital will gather there. This is the natural selection of the market and the earliest signal in each cycle—the bridging data always reveals the true movement of funds ahead of most narratives.

16 billion in a week? Data doesn't lie, but narratives always do. Arb is still bleeding, Hyperliquid actually has something this time, is Base secretly building positions? Money is always the most honest; following bridging data is always the right move. Funds flow to places with good liquidity—what's there to say? It's just a story without a story. Base is probably holding back a big move this time; feels different. How much longer can Arb last? Honestly, I'm a bit tired of it. This set of data shows that Base is the real winner mindset.

Cross-chain bridging is actually a high-frequency area for re-entrancy attacks. With $16 billion moving in a week, how many verifications are needed to truly hold it down? Base is accumulating silently. I get this logic, but has the audit report been released? Have the vulnerabilities been reproduced? Just looking at the fund flow is too naive.

16 billion in a week? That number is a bit scary, is it real? Arb is still holding on, Hyperliquid has risen this time, and Base quietly winning with this move is indeed brilliant. Money doesn't lie; the flow is the answer.
