"Why doesn't Base have its own token?"
→ This is honestly the smartest move they made.
While every other L2 is busy launching tokens, farming airdrops, and pumping prices, Base just quietly said:
"ETH is more than enough for now."
Why?
Because the second they drop a token, the SEC shows up with a knife asking “is this a security?”
Coinbase is a publicly traded U.S. company, literally living under the regulator’s microscope. One wrong step and it’s game over.
So they designed the entire chain to run perfectly fine without a token.
And if one day they actually need governance or incentives?
They can still launch it later — from a position of insane strength.
That’s big-brother energy right there:
“We’ve got the users, the cash, the traffic, and the brand. We don’t need to rush.
We’ll drop a token when we feel like it… and we’ll still win.”
They’re finally starting to move.
Who’s gonna be on Base grinding interactions heavy from today? 👀
