Slowly, then all at once

jesse.base.eth

@jessepollak

what if tens of millions more people had instant access to trade assets on @base?

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

The @base flywheel is about to get turbocharged this week

More virality and distribution for builders

More users and trading activity onchain

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

In 2024, @base set the foundation for onchain to reach billions

In 2025, we turbocharge the flywheel to help builders go viral

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

What if your @base project could get in front of millions of users the moment you launch?

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

The DeFi mullet will take over the world

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

100M+ @coinbase app users are about to gain direct access to every single token on @base and you’re still not bullish anon?

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

We know that @base builders launching projects and tokens need retail distribution the most

With DEX trading in the @coinbase app, we’re providing this automatically to every Base token

Just in case you needed another reason to build on Base :)

Coinbase 🛡️

@coinbase

Our asset universe is about to get a whole lot bigger.

DEX trading is coming.

Today, Coinbase users can trade hundreds of assets.

But soon, you’ll be able to trade thousands of @base assets within moments of them going live — all within the Coinbase app.

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Build on @base and get retail distribution from @coinbase

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

The age of the DeFi mullet is upon us

Now, every @base builder can get their token listed on @coinbase

The Fortune 500 Onchain

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

A few highlights:

- 161M stablecoin holders globally
- 4 in 5 institutions have exposure to digital assets
- 6 in 10 Fortune 500 companies are working on onchain initiatives
- 1 in 3 small businesses currently use crypto in their business

Safe to say the future of money is here

Coinbase 🛡️

@coinbase

The Q2 2025 State of Crypto report just dropped.

TL;DR: The world loves stablecoins.

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

We’re joining forces with @Shopify to bring global commerce onchain

@USDC on @base will soon be accepted at millions of Shopify stores worldwide and merchants will automatically get payouts in their local currency (unless they choose to keep it as crypto)

Mass adoption is here

tobi lutke

@tobi

Shopify will enable USDC (Stablecoins on @Base) in Checkout via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay. Early access starts today, roll out throughout the year.

We think that stablecoins are a natural way to transact on the Internet and worked with coinbase to develop the commerce

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Stablecoin Summer

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Stablecoins are better because they are faster, cheaper, more global, and more programmable than any incumbent payment solution

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Welcome to @base, @jpmorgan

More and more Fortune 500 companies are building on Base

Base

J.P. Morgan is bringing banking onchain.

Kinexys by @jpmorgan is launching JPMD, a USD deposit token for institutional clients, on Base.

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Base is the onchain home for Fortune 500 companies

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Base is bringing institutions, Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and the next billion people onchain to Ethereum

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

The infrastructure is ready with @USDC and @base

Now it’s primetime to enable real world commerce

Base

Brian and Tobi met to figure out how to bring crypto payments mainstream. The answer is the Commerce Payments Protocol, built on Base with @Shopify.

@brian_armstrong on CNBC:

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Sometimes I just stop and think about how crazy it is that a global onchain economy is being built in front of our very eyes

And it’s happening on @base

Base

Speed matters.

“It doesn’t matter how programmable it is, or how stable the coin is. If you don't have a fast enough network for commerce, then you're not gonna be able to do any of this."

@Shopify's @mcfazeli on why the Commerce Payments Protocol, built on Base, just works.

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

J.P. Morgan and other traditional financial institutions are moving their assets onchain to @base

The onchain global economy is becoming real

Base

Base is for global capital markets

Kinexys by @jpmorgan is piloting a USD-backed deposit token on Base to power instant, low-cost payments for institutional clients

A major step in bringing traditional finance fully onchain
