  • 14 Coinbase Listings: Expected Impact on Base Liquidity & Volume

    14 Coinbase Listings: Expected Impact on Base Liquidity & Volume
    Dec 25 2025
    We’re covering Coinbase’s announcement of 14 new and upcoming listings and what that could mean for the Base ecosystem. Background, Coinbase typically drives new liquidity and user flows when it lists tokens, and any assets that are native to or bridged onto Base would likely lift on‑chain liquidity, trading volume, on and off‑ramp activity and new user onboarding for Base. The original list was behind a paywall for us, so we’re framing impact based on likely candidates and market dynamics rather than a verified token roster. Key points, first, tokens that are already deployed or bridged on Base and major stablecoins like USDC or USDT would have the clearest, quickest impact, boosting DEX volume and bridge throughput. Second, price and volume scenarios, if smaller, low‑market‑cap tokens get listed they could see sharp, speculative moves, for example intraday spikes ranging from 20 to 200 percent in extreme cases, while larger, well known L1, L2 or stable assets would more likely show modest moves, perhaps 5 to 25 percent, with corresponding increases in Base TVL. Third, market sentiment is cautiously optimistic, traders expect a short term boost but also elevated volatility around listings. Fourth, ecosystem actions, teams should be ready with custody, liquidity provisioning and bridge capacity, while builders and DEXs should monitor inflows and user traffic. Bullish factor, listings bring capital, visibility and new users to Base, which can accelerate on‑chain activity. Bearish factor, rapid inflows often lead to knee‑jerk profit taking and congestion or higher gas costs, which can hurt user experience. This is not financial advice, crypto is volatile and speculative. We’ll keep tracking announcements and on‑chain moves, so subscribe and check our other videos for rolling coverage.

  • Why Optimism’s New Portal Actually Matters

    Why Optimism’s New Portal Actually Matters
    Dec 23 2025

    This week, the Superchain didn’t move on hype or breaking news — it moved on clarity.

    The Superchain now processes over 59% of all Layer 2 transactions, handles ~21 million transactions per day, and supports 800+ active applications contributing to the Optimism Collective. What’s changed isn’t just scale — it’s coordination. For the first time, the ecosystem has a shared observability layer that lets builders, operators, and governance participants reason about the Superchain as a single system, not a loose set of rollups.

    At the center of this shift is the Messari Optimism Portal: a unified, no-login dashboard that maps OP Mainnet, Base, and the wider Superchain across usage, fees, DEX volume, TVL, stablecoin flows, and application activity — paired with research context and AI summaries. This isn’t just analytics. It’s a coordination upgrade.

    We also cover the latest ecosystem pulse: Base’s new consumer-facing app, Soneium’s recurring Score Seasons, Mode’s AI trading agents, and evolving governance conversations around institutional alignment and real-world assets.

    The takeaway is simple: as the Superchain reaches sustained production scale, visibility and shared understanding become critical infrastructure. Coordination — not just throughput — is now the limiting factor.

  • Most Ethereum L2s Are Already Dying — Here’s Why

    Most Ethereum L2s Are Already Dying — Here’s Why
    Dec 22 2025

    A new 21Shares outlook is sounding the alarm: most Ethereum Layer 2 networks may not survive past 2026 as activity, liquidity, and developers continue to concentrate around a small group of dominant chains.

    After two years of rapid expansion, the L2 ecosystem is hitting a breaking point. While more than 50 Layer 2s are live today, nearly 90% of L2 transactions are already concentrated on just Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism — with Base alone processing over 60%. According to the report, usage across weaker L2s is down 61% since mid-2025, turning many into so-called “zombie chains.”

    Several retrenchments highlight the trend: Kinto shut down, Loopring closed its wallet, and Blast’s TVL collapsed by over 90%. Even major DeFi protocols like Aave and Synthetix have scaled back deployments on underperforming L2s due to low liquidity and weak returns.

    A key catalyst was Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade, which cut data costs by roughly 90%. While great for users, it triggered intense fee competition that pushed most rollups into losses. Base was the only L2 to generate positive revenue in 2025, reportedly earning around $55 million.

    Looking ahead, 21Shares expects a much leaner L2 landscape — dominated by exchange-backed networks like Base, ETH-aligned designs such as Linea, and a small number of high-performance rollups built for near-real-time execution.
