In 2025, the Base chain will achieve continuous growth in transaction activity and liquidity, reflecting the release of underlying demand and increased market participation. In the current range, buying support has strengthened at the lower bound between $820 million and $900 million, with clear bottom defense. However, the structure of community tokens can effectively drive short-term activity, but the fragile economic models and lack of value capture mechanisms exacerbate structural risks. Suggested strategies: In the medium to short term, follow flexible trading signals based on technical support, be alert to sharp volatility caused by emotional instability, and strictly screen the fundamentals of related community projects. Priority should be given to leading assets capable of long-term ecological value capture.

In 2025, Base chain’s cumulative Swap transaction volume on decentralized exchange protocols reached $880 million, making it an increasingly significant source of increment among mainstream Layer-2s. This increase reflects a growing actual user demand within the Base ecosystem, boosting both blockchain activity and liquidity. Meanwhile, although prices are fluctuating within a range, trading volumes show relatively stable growth, providing a solid foundation for future trends. Technically, multiple tests of the lower range attracted buying support, indicating a stronger market willingness to defend the bottom.

1inch's 2025 year-end review reveals an annual cumulative Swap trading volume of $214.0 billion, a 39% increase year-on-year, with 114 million transactions completed, more than doubling from the previous year. Trading volume was mainly on Ethereum ($97.1 billion), BNB Chain ($82.1 billion, nearly 10x growth), Arbitrum ($13.2 billion), and Base ($8.8 billion).

In 2025, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Tron, and NEAR Protocol were the busiest blockchains, with Solana leading at 23.01 billion transactions. Solana's growth was fueled by a DEX trading boom and a memecoin craze. BNB Chain saw a rise in memecoins, while Base leveraged Coinbase's user base, growing its protocol revenue significantly. Tron supported stablecoin transactions, issuing over half of circulating USDT, and NEAR contributed to privacy advancements through Zcash integration.

The interlinked model of content tokens and creator tokens stimulates community creativity, but also exposes issues with revenue distribution and sustainability. Recent doubts about this model and cases of creator token crashes remind investors to carefully assess the reliability of core economic frameworks. Meanwhile, meme coins within the community are seen as key tools for coordination and viral growth, driving short-term activity and user engagement. However, clearer value capture mechanisms are needed to support sustainable long-term expansion.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong defended the economic model of content and creator coins on Base and Zora after criticism from former Coinbase engineer Hish Bouabdallah, who argued the tokens function as a zero-sum system benefiting early speculators. Armstrong explained that content coins drive demand for creator coins through linked liquidity pools on Zora, while Bouabdallah contended the model lacks sustainable revenue sharing. The collapse of YouTuber Nick Shirley’s creator token highlighted structural weaknesses in the system.

Jesse Pollak, lead of the Base protocol, emphasized that meme coins are essential for community coordination in the industry. He stated they unite people, encourage collaborative creation, and motivate users to invite friends. Pollak advocates for more meme coins to enhance creativity, community building, and collective action.

Overall market sentiment is showing early signs of recovery, but remains in an initial observation stage and data samples are still insufficient to support a trend reversal conclusion. In the short term, sentiment-driven trend chasing and corrections may alternate, so traders should pay close attention to the breakout or loss of key technical levels. Cautious participants may wait for further confirmation from sentiment signals before making moves, to reduce the operational risk brought by amplified volatility.
