According to ChainCatcher, according to market news, Coinbase's L2 project Base announced that it is exploring the possibility of issuing tokens, a move marks a major change in Base's position that has never planned to issue tokens. Ryan Ye, a former member of Coinbase Ventures, predicts that the initial market capitalization of the Base token may be around $20 billion and has the potential to rise to $40 billion to $50 billion. He believes that token issuance will significantly promote the development of the Base ecosystem and attract more developers and users. Ryan speculates that token allocations may include: 20%-40% to Coinbase, about 20% to be used in independent community vaults, and the rest is allocated to the community through airdrops or public sales. He also pointed out that the Base token feature, or Ethereum-like ETH, is partly used for on-chain fee combustion, and may also become the core liquidity asset of DeFi. Additionally, Base has been integrated with Solana on the Testnet. Ryan believes this shows that Base acknowledged Solana as its biggest competitor and attracted developers through the move. He pointed out that the competition between Base and Solana is mainly focused on user culture and DeFi liquidity, which is more inclined to DeFi liquidity, while Solana has the advantage in user experience and consumer culture.
