According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), decentralized exchanges (DEXs) operating on the Base blockchain have already surpassed $140 billion in trading volume year-to-date in 2025. This significant milestone highlights increased user adoption and robust liquidity on Base, signaling growing interest from traders in layer-2 scaling solutions. The surge in DEX activity on Base may drive enhanced price discovery and tighter spreads across major crypto pairs, offering new opportunities for active traders and liquidity providers (source: Milk Road on Twitter, May 22, 2025).
