🤔 $HYPE vs $BASED 1000x difference. A lot of people seriously believe this is the second $LAB. There's a ton of posts and direct comparisons specifically to LAB. If the Hyperliquid community takes this app under its wing, then everything becomes possible. A public buyback program is needed, along with everything else I wrote in the post below. DYOR. Objectively, this is a 100x lottery. It's already hard to imagine Hyperliquid disappearing. That means the team behind the app will generate more revenue.
🥸 $BASED is one of those tokens where the business is good and the token quietly isn't. Worth understanding why, because the gap is fixable. Start with the strengths, because they're real. Based is the number one app by volume on Hyperliquid $HYPE and number two by revenue, with roughly 40 billion in cumulative volume and actual users, not just farmers. The founders are doxxed with real track records (Zilliqa, Lazada). The cap table is about as strong as it gets this cycle: Pantera led the round, with Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute, Ethena, Hashed and Spartan alongside. This is not a vapor project. The product ships and it makes money. Now the uncomfortable part. The token is pure utility. You hold or stake BASED for fee discounts, up to 8% cashback on the card, higher limits, launchpool and airdrop access. That's nice, but here is the core flaw of a utility only design: people buy exactly what they need and not one token more, and they can sell the second they stop needing it. Utility creates transactional demand, not structural demand. It does not put a floor under the price. And here is the irony nobody at Based wants printed. Every trade routed through the app feeds Hyperliquid's buyback machine, which sends around 97 percent of fees into buying HYPE. Based generates all this volume, and the value accrual flows to HYPE, not to BASED. Based earns its own builder fee on top, about 15 million a year, but right now that revenue does not buy back the token, does not get distributed to holders, does not burn anything. No buyback, no burn, no revenue share. The flywheel they describe is a customer acquisition flywheel, not a token value flywheel. So what would it really take to get to a dollar? A dollar means roughly a 1 billion valuation. From here that is about a 13x, and you have to do it while absorbing the investor and team unlocks that start landing in March 2027, north of 40 percent of supply. You do not get there on vibes and cashback. You get there by turning real revenue into permanent buy pressure. Concretely: ➤ 1) Route a fixed share of builder revenue into buybacks. Even 30 to 50 percent of 15 million a year is enormous against a 16 million market cap. Do it transparently and on chain, the way Lighter $LIT already does, the way the parent chain itself already does. ➤ 2) Or pay real yield. Distribute a slice of revenue to stakers in USDC or USDe. Turn staking from stake for perks into stake to earn. That is the difference between a coupon and a dividend. ➤ 3) Make holding non optional. Tie card tiers, launchpool allocation and fee rebates to locked BASED, so the best users are also the longest holders and float velocity drops. ➤ 4) Time it to the unlock cliff. A volume scaled buyback is the natural counterweight to insider supply. If buybacks grow with volume while supply is fixed, the math finally points up instead of down. As it stands, BASED is a great business attached to a mediocre token. The company can keep winning while the token goes nowhere, because the value leaks to HYPE and to users instead of to holders. Flip on one value accrual switch and the whole thesis changes. The volume is already there. The revenue is already there. The users are already there. The only thing missing is a reason for the token to capture any of it. DYOR.

$BASED is built on $HYPE - one of the very few tokens that is and has an EXTREMELY low Market Cap relative to revenue generated. A 10x candidate

#BASEDUSDT $BASED #Binance One of the best charts I've seen so far. If we can break above 0.076, there will be no major obstacles left in front of us for further upside. A successful breakout above this level could accelerate the move significantly. I'm watching it closely
#BASEDUSDT $BASED #Binance #Altcoin As long as the price stays above $0.062, it has formed a very strong channel structure. The first target is $0.36. If the channel breaks to the upside, we could see $1 first, followed by a potential move toward $2. #Crypto #Altcoins

$LAB’i izledik. $BEAT’i izledik. Peki ya sıradaki? $BASED aylardır düşüyor gibi görünüyordu. Ama gerçekte olan şey; sabırsızların satıp, akıllı paranın toplamasıydı. Şimdi ise grafik tam karar anında. Düşen trend kırılmak üzere, hacim diplerden dönüyor, ve fiyat uzun süredir ilk kez güç göstermeye başlıyor. $LAB patlamadan önce de kimse konuşmuyordu. $BEAT hareket etmeden önce de herkes umudunu kesmişti. Tarih birebir tekrar etmez ama çoğu zaman kafiyelidir. Eğer kırılım gelirse, bugün baktığınız bu grafik birkaç hafta sonra “keşke alsaydım” grafiğine dönüşebilir. $BASED Bir sonraki sürpriz burada olabilir. #BASED #Crypto #BTC #Altcoins #ETH $ETH $BTC $BASE #BASE

$741.75K across 7 wallets isn't a whale move. It's something earlier than that 7 fresh addresses are accumulating 10.17M $BASED in sync, the kind of coordinated footprint that appears at the beginning of accumulation phases before the larger wallets show up and the signal becomes undeniable. Save this post for later
$H just staged a breathtaking 365% resurrection from the absolute bottom After a catastrophic capitulation that wiped out 95% of the token's value, market sentiment completely flipped on a dime The narrative pivoted hard after ZachXBT published findings indicating the crash was heavily symptomatic of an external exploit rather than a malicious insider dump. Once the market realized the team didn't rug them, capital started flooding back in. The real alpha? The whales never blinked. On-chain data reveals that almost all critical tier-1 whale addresses diamond-handed through the chaos. Top holders still have compounded their positions at local lows, using the panic to absorb cheap supply. > Address: 0x15c088b42d4a6bf13e4d5d4dc104e29743bfcb1e

I believe $BASED offers an asymmetric upside here: - bear mkt launch - trading at ~60% of series A val @ 86m FDV for 7m annualised revs - stake to access AI feature (similar to $VVV) - second highest earning $HYPE builder - close comp is 20x more expensive - down 30% on the day

👀 One wallet (0x698) is buying $BASED non-stop, in clean $10K clips through CoW. Implied price around $0.065. Steady, mechanical accumulation into one token. Someone clearly wants size in $BASED 👇 intel.arkm.com/explorer/addr…

It’ll run fast! $BASED $5 👀
yeah, pretty clear one actually Grayscale HYPE ETF starts trading tomorrow (June 4). $1.5B in stablecoin inflows to Hyperliquid over 30 days. BASED did $15.1M in builder revenue and captured 15% of HL's trading volume through its frontend. when the base layer gets institutional validation like this, integrated builders tend to catch the wave. 47% trader profitability rate on BASED vs other perp platforms doesn't hurt either

Hyperliquid did $4M in revenue yesterday. Highest in the last 90 days. Revenue today will likely be higher due to increased volatility in crypto perps today. Source: flowscan.xyz/revenue

A week ago the market gave a US-Iran deal better than 75% odds. Today it is 27%, and the probability of the Strait of Hormuz reopening normally has fallen to 22%. US crude jumped more than 8% to $94 as Iran ended negotiations and vowed to block the strait, the channel that carries roughly a fifth of global seaborne crude. Trump countered that prices will fall "like a rock." Both views cannot hold, and the spread between them is where the next move lives. Trade Brent Crude: app.based.one
