Base keeps compounding momentum every single week. This time we saw: • Builder Batches wrapping up with 100+ teams moving to Incubase • Bondi v2 bringing onchain corporate bonds to Base • OKX integrating Base-native DEX trades with zero bridges or gas • SemanticLayer rolling out an AI prediction market fully on Base • SlashApp crossing $150M ARR The pattern is clear: Base is no longer an “L2 experiment.” It's becoming the default chain for consumer apps, creators, and fintech.

Did some digging into where Tether deploys its capital. USDT isn’t just a stablecoin anymore — it’s becoming the backbone of a parallel financial system. Tether is investing in Europe (MiCA-compliant partners), emerging markets, wallets, AI, gold, and Bitcoin. They’re building global infrastructure outside banking rails. Pressure from regulators didn’t shrink their influence — it expanded it.

L1 activity is cooling off fast — but this is exactly where the difference between hype chains and real user-driven ecosystems becomes obvious. BASE stands out. Most major L1s are seeing a collapse in active wallets as the meme cycle dies down. But BASE is holding its ground for one simple reason: it isn’t powered by temporary speculation — it’s powered by actual usage. What still works when the market goes quiet? ultra-low fees + Web2-level UX consistent inflow of builders growing number of apps choosing BASE as their primary environment sticky users that stay even when hype disappears While classic chains bleed activity, BASE keeps proving that L2s are where real traction accumulates during “boring” market phases. If you zoom out and look at user metrics instead of price, the picture is clear: BASE is one of the few networks still expanding in a shrinking market.
