Narrative Of The Week: Mantra’s $OM Crash and Base’s Drama

This week, was an eventful one marked by Mantra’s catastrophic $OM token crash and Base’s controversial content coin experiment. Here’s what happened:

Mantra’s $OM Crash: On April 13, 2025, Mantra’s $OM token plummeted over 90%, wiping out a staggering $5.5 billion in market cap within a single day. In an attempt to restore confidence, the Mantra team announced a recovery plan, including token buybacks and more transparency.

Base’s Content Coin Experiment: On April 16, 2025, Jesse Pollak of Base ignited a content coin frenzy on Zora. Tokens like Base is for Everyone surged to a $17M cap, crashed, rebounded, then dumped again. Some called it a pump and dump, but Base framed it as a creative experiment
