According to WhaleStats on-chain data platform, ApeCoin has entered the top 10 list of most purchased assets among the largest whales on Ethereum over the past 24 hours, along with Shiba Inu coin.
APE, SHIB surge to top 10 list
In a recently published tweet, WhaleStats revealed that aside from APE, there are other popular crypto assets among the top-purchased ones: SHIB, UNI, MANA, BAT, ENJ, etc.
Aside from that, APE and SHIB are also on the list of the top 10 list of most sold coins and, as a result, coins with the highest trading volume.
Nearly half of the coins on this list have been taken by USD-backed stablecoins — USDC, USDT and their derivatives.
As APE managed to get on that list, its price soared by over 5% in the past 24 hours.
