Base co-founder outlines strategy to scale from $5B to $100B+ TVL by integrating tokenized stocks and real-world assets.
Tech & Launches ·
Base outlined a scaling roadmap that would grow the network's total value locked from its current approximately $5 billion to $100 billion and beyond, according to a video posted by the Base account. The strategy centers on integrating tokenized stocks and other real-world assets alongside existing crypto holdings, positioning these traditional asset classes as the primary driver of future expansion.
The roadmap maps out intermediate milestones at $10 billion, $20 billion, and $50 billion TVL before reaching the $100 billion target. The framing contrasts the network's current state—built entirely on crypto assets—with a future that leverages what is described as the largest asset class in the world, implying substantial room for growth by bringing equities and real-world-asset tokenization on-chain.
The statement does not specify timelines for reaching each milestone, regulatory pathways for tokenized securities, or technical details of how Base will accommodate these asset classes at scale. It remains unclear which tokenization partners, exchanges, or infrastructure upgrades will support this expansion.
