Coinbase is rolling out a huge update that will let its 100+ million users easily trade any token on the Base chain — directly inside the Coinbase app or website, with no gas fees and no extra steps.
This could massively increase exposure and demand for Base-based tokens, and Jesse shares the top 3 Base tokens he’s buying before this rolls out.
📱 What Coinbase Is Doing
-
Adding a built-in DEX router to its main app
-
Users can trade thousands of Base tokens without needing MetaMask, bridging, or writing down seed phrases
-
Smart wallets are created automatically in the background
-
Coinbase won’t charge gas fees at launch
-
It will feel like trading any regular token on Coinbase
💥 Why This Is a Big Deal
-
Tiny tokens on Base will suddenly be available to a massive user base
-
It removes the barrier to entry for non-technical users
-
Likely to increase trading volume and token demand
-
Other exchanges may copy this (e.g. Binance with BNB Chain, Kraken with Solana)
📈 What This Means for Investors
-
Builders will rush to launch on Base to get automatic exposure
-
Projects on Base without a token yet may launch soon
-
Many small-cap tokens on Base could pump from new user demand
🧠 Jesse’s Top 3 Base Token Picks
1. $UNA (Yunano)
-
Crypto gaming project that pivoted into AI
-
Backed by ex-Ubisoft execs
-
Developing AI-powered games and products
-
Strong branding and creator community (830K+ social followers)
-
Market cap around $2–3 million (very small)
-
Massive upside potential with solid execution
2. $HANNA (AI Agent token from Hannah Studios)
-
Launched via the Virtuals platform
-
Platform allows users to generate AI videos and images
-
Discounted pricing if paid with $HANNA or $UNA
-
Very small market cap (~$342K)
-
Strong early product with better UX than most AI tools
-
Already being used by major creators on X
-
High upside potential compared to similar tokens that only post on X
3. $RSC (ResearchCoin)
-
Part of the “DeSci” (decentralized science) narrative
-
Co-founded by Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase
-
Market cap ~$43 million
-
Users must buy RSC to fund scientific research
-
9% fee gets locked in the protocol treasury, supporting price
-
Clear narrative, easy for influencers to promote
-
Could gain major traction once listed on Coinbase
🔍 Final Thoughts
-
All 3 tokens are on Base, very small, and positioned for Coinbase exposure
-
$UNA and $HANNA are plays on the AI trend
-
$RSC has a strong narrative and ties to Coinbase leadership
-
These tokens could benefit heavily from the Coinbase app upgrade in the coming weeks
-
Jesse is betting that these projects will no longer stay in the low millions once more users can access them easily
