How stablecoins helped Base’s TVL surge to $5.8 billion
Base has seen an increase in its USDC supply, which has impacted its stablecoin market cap and TVL.
- Base’s stablecoin supply crosses $2.3 billion.
- The platform maintains the third-largest TVL market share.
Since incorporating native minting of the stablecoin USDC, Base has witnessed a notable increase in its supply on the platform.
This development has had a positive impact on the stablecoin market cap within the platform’s ecosystem. Recent data indicates that the stablecoin market cap has experienced substantial growth.
The surge in market cap has, in turn, contributed to an increase in the Total Value Locked (TVL) on the platform.
