Polygon is leading the bridge pack with roughly $3.37 billion TVL, but the TVL is down 6% during the past month. Arbitrum has around $1.44 billion which is down 2% lower than the month prior.

Polygon and Arbitrum bridges are followed by Optimism, Fantom, and the Near Rainbow bridge. The smart contract platform token market cap today is worth $281 billion and it has increased 1.4% during the last 24 hours.

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance.
