In this commentary, the host warns viewers that a massive capital influx—estimated at $20 billion—could soon flow into tiny altcoins on Coinbase’s Layer‑2 network, Base, as the platform prepares to launch its own network token. The video cites a Base representative emphasizing three "north stars": decentralization, alignment of builders/creators with the network, and pushing crypto boundaries, all pointing toward a future token. Currently Base holds about $5.13 billion in total value locked (TVL) despite lacking a native token, and many assets on Base have already seen 100× gains. The host draws parallels to the 2020 Uniswap airdrop (which grew TVL from $1.4 billion to $10 billion) and the Aerodrome airdrop, arguing that a similar token distribution on Base could multiply the ecosystem’s TVL five‑fold, injecting up to $20 billion of liquidity. An airdrop would reward early users with free coins, potentially boosting individual returns dramatically (some assets could see 500× gains). The video concludes with a strong call to action for viewers to start using Base now to qualify for the anticipated airdrop.
If you're watching this video and you have not purchased cryptocurrency, you need to wake up. $20 billion is flying into very small altcoins. Base, which is a layer 2 created by Coinbase, is officially creating their own token.
What does it look like for Base to meet for everyone on a global scale, for billions of people? And we didn't know all the answers, but we zeroed in on a few things. The first is that we believe that Base has to be a decentralized network.
Now I want you to listen to how he says it. It's very important. He said decentralized network. Listen.
And we made good progress. Base is stage 1 today, but we also have a lot more work to do. Second, we believe at our core that builders, that creators, that the people participating in the economy have to be aligned participants.
What he's saying is that he wants people that are actually using Base to benefit from the Base coin.
Finally, we know that we need to keep pushing the boundaries of what we can do with crypto, because the only way we're going to have this positive impact on the world is if we're willing to push boundaries and be creative and figure out how these new tools can unlock new systems. For all of us. And so with those as the north stars, we're going to be exploring a network token for Base.
Right now, the total Base TVL is $5.13 billion without a token. So Base is pretty much a layer. It's a blockchain where they allow other cryptocurrencies to be created. They have a lot of coins and all of those coins have money in them. This is called TVL. So this is the total value locked up on Base right now. It's at $5 billion and a lot of coins have already 100x'd on base, but this is the next level because my best guess is that they're going to do an airdrop. And the last time we've seen an airdrop on this magnitude was Uniswap right here, September 2020. And they went from $1.4 billion in TVL all the way up to about $10 billion. So like $2 to $10 billion in TVL. This is where I get the $20 billion number for. We could see a 5x in the total amount of money That is in Base right now, and all of the coins that are on Base are gonna benefit from this. That means that if Base launches their own token via an airdrop, all of that money's going to flush into Base. An airdrop is basically when a coin decides to give out free money to people that are using their network. If you're starting to use the Base system now, you could be receiving an airdrop of free coins just because you use the protocol. This is not new. This happened with Aerodrome and Uniswap. And it's one of the biggest reasons why Uniswap got adopted so aggressively. So this benefits the base ecosystem. It makes it more decentralized and it puts free money in your pocket in the form of an airdrop. And if you're wise, you'd have been researching the coins in the ecosystem, like we've been talking about. And those coins will do a bigger return. 5x total TVL. Some of these coins would do a 500x. Because of all of that new liquidity coming into Base. I hope you are paying attention.
