Sure 👍 I had a feeling someone would ask, 😆 but to be clear I’m not saying $BASECAT is a tokenized stock, wraps stocks, or pays stock dividends. 3 hints of a potential connection:
1. Same token standard
Coinbase tokenized stocks on Base are issued as B20 tokens, Base’s native token standard, not ordinary ERC-20 contracts. B20 tokens live at a special address family that starts with 0xb200….
$BASECAT’s contract is:
0xB2000000000000000000004c27f6523082f41D01
That is the same prefix as Coinbase stock tokens, for example:
• AAPLc 0xb200…d1fb
• NVDAc, METAc, GOOGLc, COINc, etc. all use 0xb200… addresses.
$BASECAT originally launched as a B20 token. So it sits on the same issuance rails Coinbase built for stocks, stablecoins, and other assets: protocol-level token logic, same wallets, same DEX routers, same lending integrations. same standard, same address namespace, same Base DeFi surface.
2. @BasecatOnBase listed the same week and trading went live the same day.
Coinbase listing machine Tokenized stocks went live on Base on August 24.
$BASECAT spot trading on Coinbase also opened August 24, nine days after launch. An unusually quick listing for a brand new memecoin.
Coinbase is issuer + chain operator + CEX listing venue for the stocks, and it listed the meme on the same rails. That timing is why there is likely a connection. Again, I’m not saying $BASECAT represents equity.
3. Same product story Coinbase is selling. Base’s pitch is: every asset on one chain, crypto, memes, and now 1:1-backed stocks you can hold in a wallet, LP on Aerodrome, and post as collateral on Aave. A loud Base-native meme that Coinbase listed instantly fits the this is where people actually trade campaign, especially after Cobie took over the Base app and the team said social/creator coins failed and trading/payments/tokenization is the focus.
@theunipcs Honestly bro, just wow; I love this tweet so much. As I began to connect with and trust God more, my trading has changed significantly and I feel much less stress and much more zen in my trading. $USELESS to a billion floor 🙌🏽
I built Trickshot over the weekend, a tool that lets you rewatch your best plays.
Trenching has always felt like a game, and pnl cards are just the leaderboard at the end of the match. But it doesn’t show the drawdowns you had to hold through or the euphoric green candles you TPed on.

@wallstreetbets $GME majorly underpriced. A lot of great work at @GameStopOnChain but you knew that already 💎

There are two options to making money in memecoins
You either
> spend all day staring at new launches, buying and selling thousands of times a day, holding for seconds, reading the most dogshit narratives ever created
> take an hour out of your day, scan for the best performing memes of the day, see if anything is obvious and could be a big runner, buy and hold
One option has you trapped staring at a screen for longer than a 9-5 would, and the other lets you actually live life
One option gives you the worst habits you could have in this industry, the other does the complete opposite and puts you in a better mental mindset
The choice is ultimately yours but it shouldn’t really even be a choice
