In the last month, total stablecoin volume reached $10.2T

Base #1 chain ($5.1T)

Ethereum- $3.2T

Tron- $672B

Solana- $646B

BNB- $284B

Optimism- $261B

Polygon- $62.2B

While Ethereum with $185B stablecoin market cap and Tron with $86.5B market cap have monthly transfer volumes of $3.2T and $672B respectively,

Base with just $4.72B stablecoin market cap is generating $5.1T in monthly volume

Because this chain has TPS 2k+, block time of just 200ms and fee almost zero

Currently, base has 20+ countries currency stablecoins on-chain from USD to Nigerian Naira, Japanese Yen and more

This isn't just a chain it's becoming the global settlement layer

​

Ecosystem total value locked measures the total value of all user deposits into all applications on Base. It reflects the aggregate scale of DeFi use within the application ecosystem on Base

Total value locked $11B

circle (TVL) - $4.34B

Morpho - $3.57B

aave - $1.24B

Uniswap - $519M

AerodromeFi - $492M

sparkdotfi - $367M

MoonwellDeFi - $72M

FTI_US - $58.75M

KelpDAO - $58.7M

OriginProtocol - $51.4M

Within Base Ecosystem's total TVL, $5.3B (48%) is locked in Lending $4.4B (40%) in Stablecoins and $1B (9.6%) in DEX

Nearly half of TVL sits in the lending market Morpho and Aave alone hold $4.8B+

Stablecoins 40% share largely reflects Circle's USDC dominance on base

This dominance of Lending and Stablecoins signals that productive capital is flowing into Base - not speculative

​

While other networks keep sharing the same technology under different names, Base is the only one incubated by Coinbase with native fiat rails, 6M+ monthly active wallets and the deepest stablecoin liquidity of any rollup

Where SWIFT's median fee is $15-50 with a settlement time of 1-5 days

Ethereum's median fee is $2–20 with a settlement time of 12s

Base's median fee is under $0.01 with a settlement time of just 200ms

This is why @base today hosts 20+ stablecoins covering currencies from across the world USD, Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and many more

Is this the right time to transition from traditional banking to blockchain?

Base Chain currently records $230B+ in daily stablecoin transfer volume and it even hit an all-time high this month on Apr 3, with just $4.6B in supply

Meanwhile, Ethereum's daily transfer volume sits around $50B with $170B in supply

Base's stablecoin supply is just 2.5% of Ethereum's, yet its transfer volume is 4-5x higher

That means every dollar on Base changes hands far more frequently. In terms of capital efficiency, @base is operating on a completely different level

This is what Velocity > Supply looks like

Base isn't just growing

it's working differently
