Hey there, meme coin enthusiasts and blockchain buffs! If you’ve been scrolling through X lately, you might have stumbled upon a tweet from $jacob (@js_horne) that’s got the crypto community buzzing. Posted on July 31, 2025, at 23:21 UTC, this tweet highlights a jaw-dropping trend: Zora coins integrated into social feeds are driving a 7x increase in trades per user compared to the old Coinbase Wallet. Let’s dive into what this means, why it’s happening, and how it could shape the future of crypto trading.

What’s Behind the 7x Trading Surge?

The tweet quotes an earlier post from oxb.base.eth (@Oxxbid), which shared a graph comparing trading activity. The blue line (representing Base App) shoots up dramatically, while the orange line (old Coinbase Wallet) remains relatively flat. This visual tells a story: the new Base App, launched by Coinbase, is turning heads by blending social networking with trading. Unlike traditional crypto wallets where you stare at charts all day, Base App lets users see their friends’ trades in real-time within a social feed. Imagine scrolling past a post where your buddy just scored big on a Zora coin—suddenly, you’re tempted to jump in too!

Zora coins, minted on the Zora platform (a hub for tokenized art and coins), are at the heart of this surge. According to CoinGecko, Zora has seen wild price swings, with an AI-driven coin even surging 11,000% on debut. When these coins pop up in your feed, it’s like a social signal that triggers FOMO (fear of missing out), pushing users to trade more.

Why Social Feeds Are Changing the Game

So, why is this social twist so effective? The replies to Jacob’s tweet give us some clues. Fast Buckz (@fast_buckz) nailed it: “social feeds > trading interfaces.” Seeing friends “ape into coins” (crypto slang for jumping into a hot investment) feels more exciting than analyzing candlesticks at a Wall Street firm. Plus, 0xAnsh.eth (@0nchainAnsh) is hyped about Base App’s potential, hinting at a community-driven trading vibe.

This ties into a broader trend called onchain dynamics, which tracks user behavior on the blockchain. By analyzing metrics like transaction volume, experts can spot trends early. The 7x increase suggests that social engagement—liking, commenting, and trading—could be the future of crypto, especially for meme tokens where community hype is king.

Is This the Future, or Just a Flash in the Pan?

Not everyone’s convinced this is here to stay. LOUDER 🔈 (@louderonbase) asked a smart question: “Is this engagement loop the future of onchain behavior, or just a phase?” It’s a fair point. Studies, like those on PMC, show that social media virality can drive crypto prices but often fades after a month, leading to “pump and dump” risks. If the hype around Zora coins and Base App cools off, we might see a dip in trading activity.

Still, the momentum is real. With Coinbase pushing Base App as an “everything app” (social, trading, payments, and more), and users clamoring for invite codes (shoutout to 0xAnik 🐝 (@Alphooor)), this could be a game-changer. The app’s smart wallet feature, which follows users across chains, adds flexibility that traditional wallets can’t match.

What This Means for Meme Token Lovers

For those of us at Meme Insider, this is exciting news! Meme tokens thrive on community buzz, and Base App’s social trading model could be a perfect playground. If Zora coins keep driving trades, we might see more AI-minted meme tokens hitting the scene. Keep an eye on Zora’s market cap, currently at BTC1,671.8482, as a bellwether for this trend.

Final Thoughts

The 7x trading surge tied to Zora coins on Base App is a peek into how social dynamics are reshaping crypto. Whether it’s a lasting revolution or a temporary spike, one thing’s clear: the line between socializing and trading is blurring. So, are you ready to join the hype?
