In mid-July, Coinbase launched its Ethereum-based Layer 2 solution called Base, which has now become accessible for developers. Recently, there has been a notable increase in meme coin-related activity on the Base network. Traders have been actively participating in the decentralized exchange LeetSwap, acquiring tokens such as BALD, COIN, and BASED on the platform.

BALD has especially caught the attention of investors, as some traders made over a million dollars in profit with $500. However, according to the latest on-chain data, BaldBaseBald, as the name goes on Twitter, removed most of the BALD liquidity from LeetSwap, triggering fears of a “rug pull.”
