The announcement led to controversy on social media when Horizen shared that various territories would be unable to utilize its staking website owing to regulatory issues, which includes the United States too. Later, the Ape Foundation shared a tweet mentioning that potential workarounds are possible to be deployed in those areas.
There’s no doubt that investors might be collecting APE before the launch, hoping to maximize staking emissions, which are at the peak in the beginning. Despite the increase in the past week, the price of ApeCoin is down by 85% since a rise in late April before NFT land plots’ release for the forthcoming Otherside metaverse game.
With the increase in the prices, the prices for BAYC NFT are rising too. During the past many months, the blue chip collectibles have lost their appreciable value similar to other NFT projects in the ongoing crypto winter.
The floor price of Bored Ape has gone down from $429,000 in April to less than $60,000 in November. However, the price has gone up again in the last week from $63,600 to $82,300. BAYC has re-flipped CryptoPunks’ floor price, which is at $79,800.
During the last week, BAYC and MAYC have experienced a rise of over 34% rise in USD floor value for each NFT Price Floor. MAYC NFTs have increased to an ongoing price of $16,000.
Ever since an ApeCoin community NFT marketplace launched last Wednesday, a major positive price momentum has been seen for Bored Ape NFTs and ApeCoin. Snag Solutions has developed the platform after a vote by owners of APE Token, which was a surprise as Snag Solutions surpassed giants like Magic Eden & Rarible to built its own NFT marketplace.
Meanwhile, in October, ApeCoin DAO considered delaying APE staking and introducing a bug bounty scheme.
