Decoding What APE’s Increased Accumulation Means for the Token

ApeCoin [APE] has been experiencing selling pressure for quite a few days, as was evident from its recent price action. According to CoinMarketCap, APE registered over 14% decline in its price over the last seven days, and at the time of writing, it was trading at $5.05 with a market capitalization of over $1.86 billion. Interestingly, Lookonchain revealed that APE’s buying and staking were on the rise since the collusion months of 2022. 

On 10 February, the largest APE staking address received 300,000 APE from Binance, which was worth $1.7 million. However, during the latest bull rally in 2023, investors sold their tokens at a comfortable margin of profit. This increased selling pressure was the main reason for APE’s recent price decline.

Despite the decline, recent data suggested the possibility of a trend reversal as the selling pressure might come to an end. Lookonchain also pointed out that Machi Big Brother bought 10,000 APE for 52,910 USDT.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

    Despite hopes from industry participants, the topic of crypto was not discussed during the first general debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
