October isn't even over and @base just had the biggest month for crypto card spending any chain has ever recorded.
$228.6M spent with crypto cards on base so far. nearly double the next chain, and 12x a year ago.
still 4 days left.

Just deployed AI12, the second index on Bankr after MAG7.
One token on @base holding 9 AI stocks and 3 AI coins, from NVDA to BNKR. Buy it and one transaction buys all 12 underneath.
What's inside:
NVDA 17% · GOOGL 11% · MSFT 10%
META 8% · AMZN 7% · TSLA 5%
PLTR 4% · MU 4% · SNDK 4%
BNKR 12% · VVV 10% · DRB 8%
Why buy AI12:
> The whole AI trade in one buy: Nvidia, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon, etc next to BNKR, VVV and DRB. You won't find that in an ETF.
> It never closes. Trade it 24/7
> It's fully backed. Redeem it for the 12 tokens underneath any time, fee-free.
> Holders earn from volume: 0.30% of every buy and sell goes back to them.
> No annual fee (compared to an ETF), and each coin is sized to its liquidity.
The stocks are tokenized stocks on Base. A Uniswap v4 hook buys all 12 on every buy and sells them on every sell. You can trade it like any other coin. The screenshot is my own $100 buy: one transaction, all 12 tokens.
Fees: 0.50% per buy or sell. 0.30% to holders, 0.20% to Bankr.
Index creation opens to everyone on Bankr soon.
For now, AI12 trades on Bankr. Support on DexScreener and aggregators like 0x and Uniswap is in progress, so it won't show up there yet.

All index tokens: bankr.bot/indexes
just bought the mag 7 on robinhood chain.
deployed MAG7 this evening, the first index on bankr: one token backed by a basket of up to 20 tokens. and on MAG7, the trading fees go to the holders.
every buy, a uniswap v4 hook buys all 7 stocks from their own pools and mints MAG7. every sell burns MAG7 and sells the basket. one transaction either way. the index itself needs no LP, so creators don’t need to provide liquidity to launch one. it’s already in the pools of the tokens it holds. this isn’t possible without uniswap hooks.
the fees: MAG7 charges 0.50% a trade. i set my creator cut to 0, so 0.30% of every buy and sell goes back into the basket for holders, and 0.20% to the protocol. nobody claims anything. it’s released into the basket over 24h, so after every trade each MAG7 is backed by a little more. creators pick a fee of 0.25–1% at launch and it never changes.
the index never market-sells when rebalancing. it runs dutch auctions, offering what it holds too much of at a price that starts good for holders and gets cheaper every minute until someone fills it. anyone can fill. every rebalance gets 48h notice, so holders can leave first.
you can always swap MAG7 back for the 7 stocks directly. no fee, works without bankr, can’t be paused.
i also seeded a small USDG/MAG7 pool on uniswap so it shows up on dexscreener. but buy on bankr. it goes straight through the hook, which mints new MAG7 at the basket’s price, as deep as the 7 stocks’ own pools rather than my small one. hook trades are also the ones that pay holders. if the pool drifts, arbs close the gap.
it’s early. we’re getting the hook supported in wallets and aggregators before the full rollout. right now it’s just me creating indexes. soon anyone can make their own on base or robinhood.
and then: pairing. you’ll be able to launch a token paired with an index. buying your coin buys the index, the index buys the basket, and your creator fees come in the index.
buying MAG7 on bankr isn’t available in the US or UK.
Stablecoins are better money
Sending $200 in USDC on Base costs roughly 86% less than traditional services, per new research from Coinbase and @TheBlockCo
Your life doesn’t run on banking hours, your money shouldn’t either.
Stablecoins already meet that bar – with most volume moving on nights, weekends and holidays.
73% of volume to be exact.
And that’s just one of the findings from our new research with @TheBlockCo ↓

All asset classes are moving onchain. Tokenized stocks and stablecoins (which are really just tokenized fiat currency) are growing fast, with more to come.
We'll continue updating the financial system.
one of many ways @base backs its builders
Have you bought a tokenized stock?
If yes, why? Easy access, part of a trading strategy, a yield strategy, meme pairing, or something else?
If not, why not? Limited assets, thin liquidity, lack of products or tools, already happy with your tradfi broker?

The truth about tokens
Launching a token can be the best marketing on the planet. It makes useless products appear world changing.
Grifters know this. There’s a token attached to all the obvious grifts like FTT and LUNA and the more subtle VC pump and dumps. Too many to name.
Builders also know this so they focus on building a useful product first. Without a truly useful product the token is easy come, easy go.
Token comes later with time. It’s too valuable as a marketing tool and to align incentives between team and users to ignore. But if you launch it too soon or hype it up too much then it’s dead on arrival.

.@base is still leading the FX DEX sector in monthly volume
In the first month of 2024, FX volume on Base was just $500K. Last September, it reached $411M, representing an increase of around 822x
Base alone now accounts for 54% of the entire sector's market share
Solana took the lead in this sector for a few months in 2025. But since June 2025, Base has maintained its dominance
Currently, "25+ local currencies" are live on Base. This means coverage has expanded alongside volume, not just a few trading pairs
