Crypto analysts identify BASE-based meme coins as a new category towards which NFT holders are likely to rotate capital.

BASE, Coinbase’s Layer 2 chain, has seen a rapid spike in daily transactions in recent days as market participants get drawn to the meme coin frenzy towards tokens related to its ecosystem. Degen (DEGEN), Brett (BRETT), All Your Base (AYB), Based Shiba Inu (BSHIB) and Broge (BROGE) have yielded between 30% and 200% weekly gains.

The decline in volumes suggests the meme coin frenzy on Solana – which boasted trading volumes and network usage for the network over the last month– is slowly waning.Capital appears to be rotating to Layer 2 chains like Base, where meme coins are seeing a resurgence and a rapid increase in daily transactions, trade volume, and returns.

Regarding these sudden shifts from traders, NFT expert and influencer behind the X handle @punk9059 said on Monday that the “once-was NFT community” has moved to different branches of the market, namely meme coins, DEGEN (Base-based meme coins), Ordinals and Bitcoin, and Farming blast.

It feels like the once-was NFT community has moved into many different branches:

1) Memecoins
2) Farcaster/$DEGEN/Base
3) Ordinals and Bitcoin
4) Farming Blast

Totally different ecosystems and each is pretty all-encompassing.

The feed is all over the place.
