Every week hundreds of millions cross into Base via bridges.
Over 2 years, the net result: $146M.
Most weeks the money comes in and goes right back out.
But twice, something different happened.
Sep 29, 2025 โ $465M arrived from just 453 wallets.
They didn't trade. DEX volume was completely normal.
Capital arrived, sat down, and waited.
Apr 13, 2026 โ $193M from 121 wallets.
Even fewer people, even larger positions.
4 days later Circle officially launched the USDC Bridge.
Retail follows news. Institutions front-run it.
