Three of the latest @base memecoins listed on @coinbase $BLUECHIP , $Basecat , $DRB Since listing, almost all of them are down 50%+. Basecat went from ~$80M to $19M, about 76% down Coinbase listings aren't bringing in volume like they used to. Old or new, no Base meme is pulling it @jessepollak Is Base meme season over, or will it come back?

When banks put deposit tokens on an L2 like @base you get an interesting finality gap A transfer on Base can be confirmed almost instantly from the user's perspective But Base has different levels of L2 finality. Its latest state can be unsafe, then become safe once derived from canonical Ethereum data, and eventually finalized once that underlying L1 data reaches @ethereum finality That creates an important question for banks When should a token transfer be considered “settled”? A bank could use @base for fast transaction execution while waiting for stronger @ethereum -backed finality before treating the transfer as irreversible in its core systems And there is another layer If the deposit-token contract gives the issuer powers such as freeze, mint, burn or revocation, the token can have issuer-level controls that exist independently of Ethereum's consensus finality So who has the final say? Ethereum determines the canonical blockchain state issuer and legal framework determine how that state is recognized economically That suggests tokenized deposits may have two different notions of finality Blockchain finality → Ethereum Economic / legal finality → Issuer + banking framework The interesting part is that these two moments don't necessarily have to be the same For tokenized bank money, “final” may depend on which layer you're asking about What do you think?

Everyone says @base and @solana are the best chains for payments, and that the USDC + USDT duopoly will last forever I think it's not that simple @tempo went live in March and its 30-day stablecoin transfer volume has crossed $1B (mostly enterprise payouts and payments) Circle's @arc public mainnet went live on September 16. $OUSD is coming and 21 banks are planning to build their own stablecoin together for 2027 That means fragmentation is coming So what does this mean for @base ? Base has a first-mover advantage in this sector, but that alone isn't enough. The card network comparison doesn't always hold. Coinbase has said $OUSD is coming to Base, so Base faces both a threat and an opportunity In my view, the real battle will be over agentic payments. Right now, people have to open a wallet and press buttons to pay and that's a big barrier for newcomers. Base has an early edge here, because x402 was built by Coinbase But an agent works 24/7, never gets tired and doesn't get stuck on 2FA. The chain that's easiest for agents will own the future

$1.2B in DEX trading volume for tokenized stocks on @base over the past 90 days, up 1,800% Most of it arrived in the last month as @coinbase Tokenized Stocks went live The category now clears more volume in a month than it did in its first two months combined. That is a secondary market forming and secondary liquidity is what turns tokenized equity exposure into a usable building block Data source: Token Terminal

Stocks can now be traded on @base , 24/7 Until now, all of Base's DeFi has run purely on crypto assets. Stablecoins, DEXs, lending, all of it. But compared to traditional finance, crypto is still a small part of the total market With tokenized stocks, that same DeFi infrastructure can now work on a much larger asset class. 24/7 trading, borrowing against your stocks, earning yield on top, all of it is now possible with stocks too And anyone can do this, not just people with a brokerage account Almost every chain is in this race now. 11 stocks have been tokenized on Base, and in just one month DEX volume has gone from nearly zero to $55-60m a day But tokenizing and getting lasting liquidity are not the same thing What to watch whether this volume holds, how many people are actually trading and how big the lending market gets

Base already front-ran this news @coinbase had been quietly tokenizing top stocks and listing them on @base over the past few weeks, and as a result, volume went from $0 to daily $70M+ (the explosion started around Aug 22, see the chart) Today the reason became clear SEC just issued an "Innovation Exemption" for tokenized NMS stock trading, 5-year exemption, under Chair Paul Atkins. This rule had been delayed for months and today it finally went live This means the regulatory green light is now official. Institutional players and other issuers who had been waiting on the sidelines can now move too This is a big opportunity for Base, because Coinbase is already positioned in this sector as a first-mover
Tokenization is coming to America.

.@coinbase now seems to be starting to list low mc @base memecoins This journey started with $basecat, then $DRB and now $BLUECHIP There's a common pattern here @cobie Cobie followed basecat first and within a few days it got listed on Coinbase. Cobie followed BLUECHIP on X and now that's also gotten listed on Coinbase Now the thing to watch is which meme coin gets listed on Coinbase next? Meanwhile, the OG meme coins are just going sideways

Hi guys I been using @CoinbaseWallet for a long time, but there's an issue I been feeling for a while now, limit order system in this wallet. Out of 10 chains, limit order only works for a limited set of coins on just 3 chains most coins are not covered under this limit order feature Another negative side is that while you can set a limit order to auto-sell and book profit when a token pumps 5/10%, there's no way to set an SL (stop-loss) to auto-sell when the token drops 5/10% Also, you can't just go into the token anytime throughout the day and place a limit order whenever you want, auto limit sell option only appears right after you buy a token for the first time. After that, if you want to place a limit order, you have to select "limit order" instead of "market order," select that token again and only then can you place the limit order, which might feel a bit cumbersome for newcomers Team, please consider adding SL support + allowing users to set/re-set limit orders anytime, not just at first buy

Hey @jessepollak , Now you are talking about old meme tokens. All this while, you and @base team members hyped up B20 tokens so much, promoted every low market cap coin to pump its price and now that most B20 tokens are heavily down, with no volume coming in, is that when you suddenly remembered the OG memes you sidelined? All this while, you are the ones who pulled users toward chasing B20 tokens, and for the last few months the OG meme tokens haven't been getting any volume either Do you even remember how many of the tokens you promoted are still actually alive? Yes, on Base anyone can deploy a token, and by your own logic a token's performance depends on its community and its funniness but for these, you all ended up giving unintentional support But there's one thing you all need to keep in mind too you are a public figure. When you post or comment sharing any memecoin ticker or CA, everyone assumes you are supporting it If the OG meme coins had gotten that same support, Base wouldn't be facing this much criticism today
Replying to @mrtdlgc
thank you for writing this up - thought this was a good (albeit long) post. i love this closing at the end. and i think that your broad point is true: too often, memes (and other things) on base seek validation from me/the core base team/some perceived 'cabal' that doesn't really exist and if it did, wouldn't contribute to making a meme successful. the best version of memes on base is one where memes succeed in and of themselves. because they are funny. because they onboard people. because they make fun. because they piss people off. whatever. but because *they* do it, not because I or someone else says "this is a good meme." if i look at some of the oldest, best memes on base historically - toshi, tybg, chad, dickbutt, etc - i think you see this is a pattern. i'm excited to see the base trenches continue to grow and evolve and the memes that are meant to, go viral.

Hey @CoinbaseWallet team member For a while now, I been noticing the $TRX coin added under Coinbase Wallet's Majors section. While the original TRX price is $0.34, the $TRX (Wrapped) added here is priced at just $0.22. On top of that, liquidity is extremely low not sure what's causing this Some price difference is expected for wrapped coins, like how $ Wrapped $HYPE and the real $HYPE token differ by around $0.1-0.2. But a gap this large for TRX is genuinely something to think about If possible, please add the real TRX instead of the wrapped TRX this will cause less confusion for users
