Most of the trading is concentrated on a handful of platforms. Aerodrome leads with $601.8M in volume, followed by Uniswap at $489.5M and PancakeSwap at $246.2M. Fluid and Balancer also play a role in the network’s liquidity.

The meme coin sector on Base is also expanding. Their combined market capitalization is roughly $1.26Bn, with daily trading volumes reaching around $91.5M. 

As per Coingecko data, the biggest names are Brett (BRETT), Toshi (TOSHI), and Degen (DEGEN). 

Brett holds a market cap of about $445M, Toshi $238M, and Degen $114M. Together, their daily volume is close to $54M.

Analysts say the combination of strong infrastructure and a growing user base could set the stage for higher meme-coin activity in 2025. Because these tokens often spark surges during hype cycles, they may help push Base’s trading volumes even higher in the year ahead.
