BILLY – ‘The Mascot of BASE’ – is Now Trading Live On BASE Chain
Dubai, UAE, September 11th, 2025, Chainwire
The official “Mascot of Base” is now trading live on BaseChain, marking a major step in the growth of the Base ecosystem!
On August 8th, Coinbase dropped a groundbreaking announcement: 110 million users would soon gain access to trade millions of on-chain assets seamlessly through the Coinbase app. This landmark update allows its users to invest in native on-chain tokens early, unlocking a new ecosystem that was previously only accessible to savvy crypto traders.
In just 2 weeks after integration, the top DEX on BASE has seen a spike in trading volumes by 30% increasing from $8.7B to $11.3B. By all counts, DEX integration has surpassed expectations, considering DEX trading has only rolled out to 5% of Coinbase users.
The ‘Mascot of BASE’ – Coinbase’s Proprietary Consumer Blockchain
Known for its long-term & positive-sum oriented community of builders, BASE has emerged as a top blockchain in 2025.
Named by Jesse Pollak himself – the founder of BASE – $BILLY has become the chosen ‘Mascot of Base’. He’s icy, confident, & not named Milly for good reason. In just over a month since launch, Billy has achieved
- All-time high market cap surpassing $10M;
- >1,800 holders;
- An all-star exec team of relentless bag-workers from high mindshare memes ($PNUT reached $2 Billion Market Cap, $BRETT >$2B, $CHILLGUY >$600M, & $BASEDPEPE >$180M) with the network & confidence to make BILLY Base’s next top meme;
- A consistent ranking among top memes by volume/community.
Equally impressively, $BILLY has received organic buy-in from one of Bitcoin’s Top Analysts & Fund Managers, Louie T, after a 100% organic launch – an honest & admirable inception in an industry where memes are often manipulated through bundles & larger whales who don’t play fair.
What’s most notable is that this growth occurred prior to Coinbase listing Billy in its app everywhere. Only 5% of users have access to $BILLY. The true potential value will unlock when Coinbase’s 100M+ users have access to the Mascot of BASE, and the time to capture that value before the tidal wave of Coinbase users is closing fast.
What’s Next for BASE’s Mascot
Billy is leveling up—the completely hand-drawn Billy NFT Collection is officially launching. This collection isn’t just another PFP drop. The NFTs tie into the $BILLY token, forming a synergistic ecosystem similar to the likes of Pudgy Penguins, whose $PENGU token now commands a $1.8B market cap.
The macro tailwinds are undeniable: blue-chip collections like CryptoPunks have roared back with a 47% floor price jump to 47.49 ETH ($214,450), capped by whales sweeping 45 Punks for $8M in a single move. With over $15B flowing into institutional digital asset funds in 2025, Billy is positioned to rise as Base’s flagship NFT project.
Beyond the art and tokens, NFT holders gain exclusive access to a gated alpha group, where top minds share market insights, on-chain analysis, and trade ideas. Together, this community is building more than a collection—it’s cementing $BILLY as potentially the meme hold of the year.
