Base members have refuted rumours that its sorter, Coinbase, has been selling Ethereum. Base member Kabir.base.eth said on the X platform on Sunday: "Coinbase has accumulated more than $300 million in Ethereum, which is more than double all of Base's Ethereum revenue since its inception. Base and Coinbase have held Ethereum and publicly disclosed our long-term holdings (over 100,000 ETH, worth more than $300 million)." Kabir added that Base uses off-chain hosting for security and audit reasons.
