Following its launch on March 17, the Apecoin tokens continue to attract massive interest from crypto investors. Apecoin is the native token of BAYC, a collector of NFTs. The constant huge demand for BAYC NFTS is one of the factors causing an increasing demand for its native token (Apecoin).
As previously reported last week, Ethereum Whales were buying more SHIB tokens than ever before. But this week, their attention seems to be focused more on accumulating more Apecoins than any other altcoin.
Apecoin price rallies despite Otherside metaverse launch cancellation
The demand for Apecoin tokens surged higher following Yuga Labs’ announcement to launch the Otherside metaverse project. However, Yuga Labs (which owns the BAYC NFT collection) today announced that the Otherside metaverse launch is canceled, citing exorbitant gas fees as the cause of the cancellation.

Despite the cancellation, Apecoin remained among the highest crypto gainers in the last 24 hours, gaining 9.39% (image above). APE has established a resistance and support at $21 and $19.94, respectively. However, the buying pressure would likely continue until APE reaches the $21 mark. Hence, it is likely that its price will rise further today.
