The real turning point?
Not AERO at $2… it was when stablecoin market cap ripped past $136B and TVL followed.
Since then:
Cumberland loading $ETH like a Brinks truck
BitMine prepping $ETH like it’s headlining the Super Bowl
But the next cycle’s sleeper story → Coinbase is building a liquidity empire.
By plugging DEXs like Aerodrome & Alien Base into its own interface, it’s blurring the line between CEX & DEX.
That’s not fluff it’s a moat.
