Base has surpassed the DEX trading volume of Ethereum and BNB Chain for the first time, driven by Uniswap and Aerodrome

According to DefiLlama data, as of January 22, the trading volume of decentralized exchanges (DEX) on the Base chain has surpassed that of Ethereum and BNB Chain for the first time, driven by the two major protocols, Uniswap and Aerodrome, on Base.

This surge in trading may be related to the launch of the native token FUN by the well-known gaming protocol FootballFun on Base during the same week. This supported football-themed gaming protocol has a weekly trading volume of millions of dollars, making it the largest gaming protocol on Base, and its leader has recently promoted the project multiple times.

However, despite the initial hype, the price of the FUN token has already retreated. According to DEXScreener data, at the time of writing, the trading price of FUN has dropped nearly 7% from its TGE price.
