QuickSwap Expands to Base Network

QuickSwap has facilitated more than $261.3 million in stablecoin trading volume on Base network. This milestone demonstrates the DEX's growing presence across multiple blockchain networks. The platform previously processed over $3.3 billion in total volume on Polygon PoS during a three-month period in 2024. The significant stablecoin activity on Base indicates increasing adoption of the layer-2 network for decentralized trading.

QuickSwap executed another weekly buyback, purchasing **2.294 million QUICK tokens** and removing **0.2294% of the total supply** from circulation. **Recent buyback activity:** - Week of Jan 27: 2.294M QUICK (0.2294% of supply) - Week of Jan 20: 2.08M QUICK (0.208% of supply) - Week of Jan 13: 3.9M QUICK (0.3917% of supply) The DEX has maintained consistent buyback programs throughout early 2026, systematically reducing token supply. These buybacks use protocol revenue to purchase tokens from the open market, creating deflationary pressure on the QUICK token. The cumulative effect of these weekly buybacks represents a meaningful reduction in circulating supply over time, potentially benefiting existing token holders through increased scarcity.
