The chart revealed that Base transactions have been growing even during bearish times. However, the resurgence of bullish activity has supercharged its network activity. The impact of market swings was more evident in the volume and stablecoin data.
On-chain volume demonstrated significant correlation with stablecoin growth. For example, the volume and stablecoin marketcap grew exponentially between March and April. Now, while stablecoins levelled out between May and August, their pace of growth accelerated in September.

On-chain volume also saw a significant decline between August and mid-September. On the contrary, daily volume registered a significant bounce from below $400 million to over $700 million, as of 27 September.
The network’s stablecoin marketcap hit a new high of $3.67 billion too. To put this growth into perspective, its stablecoin marketcap hovered below $400 million before mid-March.
Robust TVL growth confirms user confidence
While the aforementioned metrics highlighted growing network utility, there is one metric that underscored a strong surge in user confidence.

The network added $780 million to its TVL over the last 3 weeks. This is around the same time that the market shifted in favor of the bulls. This outcome means that Base may see more robust growth in the coming months. Especially if the market continues to heat up.
