Coinbase’s Base TVL Surges 25% Post Tokenized US Treasuries Inclusion

Layer-2 networks have been taking the front stage. CoinBase, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, capitalized on this trend by introducing the Base platform. In the past week, it has significantly influenced the decentralized finance [DeFi] market with its impactful actions. The total value locked [TVL] of the network managed to surge to a high of $558 million. Recent data indicates that the value locked on the Base network has experienced a remarkable 25.23% surge over the past week.

Furthermore, despite a promising beginning in October, the Base network has witnessed a significant decline in transaction activity. To put this into perspective, on Oct. 2, Base processed 1.3 million transactions, but today it stands at just 520,000 transactions.

This development comes as a surprise, especially considering the series of hacks that Friend.tech faced. Base’s prosperity has primarily stemmed from the significant volume linked to its association with Friend.tech.

Exploring the Reasons Behind Coinbase Base’s TVL Spike

Recently, Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, revealed its initiative to introduce USDC to the Base platform. This move was part of Circle’s strategic plan to elevate the utility of USDC by incorporating it as a native token on multiple blockchains, eliminating the need for Ethereum token bridges. The key catalyst behind this substantial growth was the re-minting of native USDC on the network on Oct. 4. This led to an impressive surge of 470.55% to reach a total of 159 million USDC.

It should be noted that initially, Coinbase users and Circle account holders faced limitations in directly transferring USDC from their exchange accounts to the Base network. Instead, Base users had to rely on a bridged version of USDC referred to as “USDbC” to facilitate U.S. dollar transactions.

In addition, Switzerland’s tokenization company, Backed Finance, recently extended its tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury offering on Coinbase’s Base. This development occurred just two days ago.

Here’s the Obvious Use Case for Crypto, According to Solana Creator Anatoly Yakovenko

Image
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of smart contract platform Solana (SOL), is naming what he says is an “obvious” use case for crypto and blockchain. In a new interview with Austin Federa, head of strategy at the Solana Foundation, Yakovenko says simple payments are one obvious use case for digital assets that anyone can benefit from. 46:52 “I’m actually more focused on trying to do stuff that’s obvious today. I think that’s just really important, to try to get users to go do the things that already work at scale – and those are payments. Very simple kind of thing – let’s send money to each other in a cheap and fast way without [going] around the world.” According to Yakovenko, crypto assets could help simplify finance over the internet as well as let content creators work for themselves rather than be tied to the financial systems of their hosts. 48:57 “[Crypto payments are] just such a better experience for anyone that generates user con...

Terra Luna Price Prediction as LUNA Falls 10% in 24 Hours - Here's Where LUNA is Headed Next

Image
Source: TradingView The Terra Luna price has dopped to $2.00 today, with the altcoin falling by as much as 10% in the past 24-hour period. Its current level represents an 11% fall in a week, although it remains up by 58% in the last 30 days, making it one of the best-performing coins in the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. LUNA's fall today follows news that Binance has updated the 'risk warning' it gives to customers when they trade the altcoin, with the exchange now advising users that the "token has been the subject of negative news/coverage recently." Despite this being a relative improvement over its previous warning, the change has nonetheless underlined the possibility that LUNA will never be considered a 'normal' or 'safe' cryptocurrency, and therefore may not be able to return to its former heights.
