It’s feeling really magical inside of Base right now. It’s clearly the greatest time in the history of tech industry right now. I hope it feels similar everywhere else.

Once stocks are onchain, the list of things you can build with them is basically unlimited.

relentless execution
Base builders ship hard Here's 25 things the Base ecosystem launched and announced in September 1) @aave listed Coinbase Tokenized Stocks. Holders can deposit stocks on Base as collateral and borrow USDC against them on Aave V4 2) @modveon launched Sivar. Now Salvadorans can send money between the US and El Salvador at low cost, with instant transfers that settle in seconds on Base 3) @Cloudflare opened a closed beta of its Monetization Gateway. APIs on Cloudflare can charge agents per request, settled in USDC on Base 4) Coinbase partnered with @Citi to bring stablecoin acceptance to Base, letting institutions take stablecoin payments on regulated rails with automatic fiat settlement 5) 10 teams were selected for Base Batches 004 out of 750+ applicants: @bitrepo_xyz, @contavcbr, @flovia402, @greekdotfi, @get_grow_app, @mercatus_ai, @rennfinance, @saturdaybank, @tribeca_xyz, and @ledig_tech 6) @catalystmkts_ launched markets on Base for whether an event happens, starting with social interactions and expanding to listings, launches, news, and onchain events 7) @verantaxyz launched 39 new assets on Veranta and Base. Traders can trade them with up to 25x leverage, including 26 assets that were not tradable onchain 8) @2factorfinance launched its public beta on Base. Long-term holders can hold moderate leverage indefinitely, first on Bitcoin and then on Coinbase Tokenized Stocks, at a fraction of what a leveraged ETF costs to carry 9) @avantprotocol launched Avant on Base, onchain infrastructure for productive capital. It starts by bringing that capital into @morpho lending markets 10) @alchemixfi launched Alchemix V3 on Base. Users can now deposit once and earn with no lock-up, borrow against that money with no interest while it keeps earning, or lock in a fixed return 11) @upshift_fi is live on Base with @clearstarlabs. Curators, fintechs, and asset managers can launch vaults, and depositors keep their own funds. The first vault lets XRP holders earn on cbXRP in @morpho lending markets 12) @revertfinance launched Revert Rewards on Base. Liquidity providers can open a position in the tokenized stock pools on @aeroxyz, set a price range, and track the fees hour by hour 13) @clearstarlabs added cbZEC and cbHYPE to its cbAssets Vault on Base. Both markets are live in its largest vault on @morpho 14) @o1_exchange launched tax tokens on its launchpad on Base. Creators can set a buy and sell tax from 1% to 10% and route it to themselves, to holders as dividends paid in the paired asset, or to burns 15) @zothdotio expanded zPayments on Base, a stablecoin settlement platform for businesses. Businesses can pay out in local currency across 171 countries, at one stated rate, with instant settlement 16) @munifyai is now on Base. People can receive, hold, spend, and move dollars in one account with USDC on Base 17) @rifthq released an onchain API, letting users send money to a deposit address while it runs the swap, bridge, or deposit, including routes to Base 18) @morpho introduced P2P Orders for Midnight on Base, letting you set your own terms from the fixed-rate app 19) @numoforex launched a Naira Perp market on Base. Traders can now trade USDC-cNGN-PERP directly on Base 20) @fluidkey turned on auto-earn on Base. USDC you receive starts earning when it lands, through a vault curated by @kpk_io on @morpho 21) @predofficial opened NBA preseason markets on Base, letting users back their takes on a game with no fees for the whole season 22) @longshotxyz added soccer markets on Base, featuring leagues from Spain, England, and USA 23) @flapdotsh is now on Base. Tokens launched on Flap can trade against tokenized stocks, so an onchain token can be paired with a real-world asset 24) @norafinancexyz launched $BRS on Base, the Brazilian real onchain, adding more distribution and more ways to plug it into other apps 25) @roqqupay introduced the Roqqu Go Card, a multi-currency card for spending crypto like cash, running USDC on Base

This. All of this.
One of the most slept-on, unpriced-in things is that the world's wealth--dollars, bonds, stocks, derivatives, you name it--is all getting transmuted into smart contracts on blockchains, in the biggest financial reboot since joint-stock companies. This isn't memecoin bullshit or monkey JPEGs. Your personal financial app's backend will be a blockchain; you'll earn yield or invest via assets that exist on a blockchain; the biggest institutions in the world will slosh around value on blockchains. It's likely to happen so fast that most people won't even notice.

I got into crypto because I believe it has the potential to be one of the most equalizing technologies in the world. Progress isn’t a straight line. The internet gave us information. AI gives us reasoning. Blockchains will give us fair access to global markets. This part of the cycle is painful. But it doesn’t change the need for a global trading engine.

Awesome Q&A yesterday with @RepDanGoldman (NY-10th District) 🇺🇸 He voted for FIT21, and believes in striking the right balance of consumer protection while avoiding over-regulation that could stifle the growth of technology. Remember to vote on Tuesday 🗳️ Every vote counts!
