The principal decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Base layer-2 network, Aerodrome Finance, has been dominating the cryptocurrency rumor mill, with headlines forecasting both promising futures and potential pitfalls for the token (AERO).
The integration of AERO into Coinbase’s on-chain trading created a considerable rally, with the coin seeing an impressive 22% gain. Additionally, the platform's collaboration with Shopify spurred a striking increase in Aerodrome volume.
The token witnessed a staggering 50% surge recently, with some attributing the rise to the platform's refusal to bow to industry scandal — the founder of Aerodrome notably denied claims of a backstabbing by Coinbase. However, while these affirmative prognoses predict AERO reaching up to $10 in value and amassing a total locked value of $1.6 billion, others project a potentially destabilizing price dip of over 12% by 2025.
Further credibility was lent to Aerodrome's vision by a number of authorities in the finance world. Not only did U.S. lawmakers report an investment in AERO, but crypto veteran Arthur Cheong gave praise to the DEX. Also noteworthy is the induction of Aerodrome Finance's token on Bitget and Crypto.com App, signaling its increasing legitimacy and popularity.
Strengthened by an investment from Coinbase Ventures, Aerodrome Finance launched Slipstream — a venture that looks destined to secure Aerodrome's place as a leading liquidity provider on the Base network. Still, despite significant gains, there have been some roadblocks. The DEX was slammed for suspending contributors over insider trading allegations and the platform has confronted front-end hacks. Nevertheless, the future of Aerodrome looks promising, its essence seemingly resistant to fully deterred by controversy.
