A rise and then a fall

ApeCoin (APE) is a token that was launched from March 17 following an official announcement made by Bored Ape Yacht Club , a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Since its launch, this token has attracted great attention among investors, since many have been interested in it. This was noticeable in the evolution of the price of the digital asset over the past few days.

APE hit highs of $18.05 (seen on the Binance exchange) on March 18, before experiencing a slight decline to get to where it is currently trading. According to CoinMarketCap stats, ApeCoin (APE) is currently trading at $13.54, down 3% in the past 24 hours and down 1,253% in the past seven days.

Although the Bored Ape token has recorded a decline in recent days, the same cannot be said for NFTs, which continue to strengthen their value. U.Today previously reported that Universal Music Group, the record company behind stars like Taylor Swift and Drake, has purchased Bored Ape 5537, one of the NFTs from the immensely popular Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection.


A whale buys a lot of cryptocurrencies

Institutional investors are showing interest in the ApeCoin (APE) token. However, do not believe that they are the only ones to do so. Indeed, whales – people with a very large amount of cryptocurrencies in their wallet – are also interested in the digital asset and several other electronic currencies for that matter.

A large ETH whale, Gimli, ranked eighth by data platform WhaleStats, which holds 375 billion SHIB tokens , or $8,201,153 shiba inu (SHIB) dollars, has added other altcoins to its portfolio over the past 24 time. Gimli acquired nearly 300,000 ApeCoins (APE) in two separate transactions. The first transaction made by the ETH whale was a purchase of 84,090 APE, worth $1,178. The second acquisition was 216,220 APE, worth $2,841,135.

Retail investors are interested in new cryptocurrencies, such as ApeCoin (APE). However, they are far from the only ones. Indeed, whales also pay particular attention to these digital assets, which allows them to increase in value. But whether this trend will continue over time remains to be seen.
