ApeCoin became one of the most traded assets among the 5,000 biggest Ethereum addresses in the last 24 hours. Traders have moved more than $20 million worth of tokens in the last 24 hours. The total trading volume for the same period stays at approximately $250 million.

In addition to being actively traded on whale addresses, the 100 biggest Ethereum whales are holding around $20 million worth of APE on their addresses, which makes it one of the biggest holdings among all assets on the cryptocurrency market.

ApeCoin market performance

Despite the high activity of Ethereum whales, ApeCoin's market performance is extremely anemic as the asset's volatility in the last two days remains around 1%, if not even less. Such low activity of traders and investors is tied to the absence of a use case and the downfall of the NFT industry in general.

As for profitability, APE has lost around 80% of its value since reaching a new high in April.

Migration issues

Following an extremely successful coin distribution, APE caused massive turmoil on the Ethereum network, fueling a massive fee spike, congesting the network and making decentralized applications on top of it unusable.

Shortly after, developers behind the NFT collection and coin offered the community to move the coin on their own network to avoid issues with Ethereum in the future despite being accused of providing a problematic code in the contract.

Despite the proposal, the DAO behind the ApeCoin and BAYC collection expressed their negative opinion and stated that APE should remain on the Ethereum chain, moving nowhere else.
