stablecoins are blowing up on Base, and likely to gain even more traction with Shopify announcing their plans to use it for stablecoins. who knows, maybe Walmart or Amazon are next

pretty similar USD amounts on there

*the growth of the stablecoin economy on Ethereum L2s will lead to the growth of the ETH economy alongside it*

this is the positive sum picture most people here can't see

more stablecoin activity on Ethereum -> more ETH-based activity on Ethereum
