The calm before what might become the @base Era.
A phase that could redefine adoption, liquidity, and Web3 infrastructure.
The current cycle feels tired — volumes down, trends fading, liquidity trapped among institutions.
Retail isn’t rotating into altcoins anymore — it’s chasing memecoins and gambling-style platforms like pump.fun & 4.meme.
Meanwhile, institutions dominate via ETFs, while macro headwinds keep pressure on risk assets.
In this landscape, Coinbase stands out:
Building real infrastructure while others chase hype.
Expanding Base as a unified Web3 layer.
Integrating payments (x402), social (Farcaster), and on-chain apps (Aerodrome, Base App).
If this vision plays out, Base could define the next structural phase of crypto — not another degen season, but the Base Era.
What’s your take?
