ApeCoin emerged as the top-performing altcoin in the cryptocurrency market, experiencing over a 100% price increase. This remarkable rise is a rare occurrence among major cryptocurrencies and thus, very impressive. Furthermore, the ongoing potential for Bitcoin’s price increase suggests that the gains can multiply significantly.
Reasons Behind ApeCoin’s Surge
According to Coingecko data, ApeCoin’s price surged by 118% in the last 24 hours. The launch of ApeChain today has contributed to the creation of numerous meme coins, which have historically increased the value of the main token across various networks, including Solana 
$255. If the hype surrounding these tokens grows, we may witness even larger peaks in price.
The acceleration of this upward trend over the weekend is not surprising. As Bitcoin 
$98,342 saw a strong increase while maintaining a price around $68,000, trading volumes remained low. This has led traders to focus on fast-moving altcoins.
Future Prospects of ApeCoin (APE)
ApeChain operates as a third-layer network on Arbitrum Orbit. As it functions beneath the Ethereum 
$3,372 layer2 network, its technical capabilities are quite robust. The continued short-term price performance will rely on sustained interest in meme coins within the network. If Bitcoin faces significant losses, the interest could quickly reverse, potentially causing a decline in APE Coin’s price.
Thanks to the Automatic Earning Mode, users holding ApeCoin on ApeChain do not need to stake their tokens, as they earn automatically. This increases token demand and boosts prices further with trading volumes driven by speculative investors.
Currently, there are no significant macroeconomic news events on the horizon. Bitcoin remains stable around $68,000, and altcoins are generally quiet. For now, it seems there are no major issues that could hinder the momentum of ApeChain.
If APE Coin surpasses $2.70, a rally could propel it up to $4.53. Currently, the price hovers above $1.52.
