TL;DR Summary

A trader turned a $500 investment into a million-dollar fortune by trading the meme coin BALD on Coinbase's layer 2 blockchain, Base. The token, funded by Coinbase staked ether (cbETH), quickly gained popularity and reached a market capitalization of $85 million within hours. The developer of BALD tokens added more ether to a liquidity pool, resulting in over $100 million in trading volumes. Insider wallets connected to the developer sold a significant amount of BALD, netting $1 million in less than a day. However, there is currently no official support for moving funds from Base back to Ethereum.
