Brett (ticker BRETT), also called Based Brett, is a memecoin on Base, the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum layer 2, launched in February 2024. It is named after Brett, a character in Matt Furie's comic Boy's Club, and calls itself "Pepe's best friend on Base".[1][2] In June 2024 it became the first Base memecoin to reach a $1 billion market cap.[1]
Lore[edit]
Furie's Boy's Club is also the source of Pepe the Frog, the character behind Pepe.[2] BRETT fell to under 3 cents in late April 2024, then rose about 130% in the two weeks before 3 June 2024, when CoinGecko data put its market cap peak at about $1.24 billion. At that point its top 30 holders held just under 39% of supply, against 46% for the top 30 holders of Bonk.[1]
Binance announced a USD-margined perpetual futures contract for BRETT on 20 August 2024, and the token rose 36% in early trading that day, when dogwifhat also gained over 9%.[3] Binance.US opened spot trading on the Base network on 31 July 2025.[4]

Controversies[edit]
In April 2024 a user posting as @artibian_maxi argued that BRETT was not a fair launch, saying Etherscan data showed that "during the first hour after the launch only whitelisted addresses could buy". A day later @shady_oak1 claimed that "insiders were holding over 81% of the supply before most people could buy".[1]
