ApeCoin is in the focus of whales
Whale Stats, which provides data on whales, shows the movements of the 100 richest ETH whales out of stock market. As we have also reported as Kriptokoin.com, whales are considered market players with significant funds that can move the cryptocurrency market. According to digital asset tracking site, trading volume among deep-pocketed crypto investors in the last 24 hours has been prominent with The Sandbox (SAND). The Sandbox is a metaverse. The platform’s token, SAND, seems to be popular with whales, with a total of 115,191 tokens being traded.
Other than that, whales are turning to Ethereum (ETH) and a few stablecoins. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to the price of a particular asset. In this case, large investors are buying US dollar-pegged stablecoins. Whales, on the other hand, are attracted to Yuga Labs’ ApeCoin (APE).
Developed based on the Bored Ape Yatch Club (BAYC) NFT collection, APE attracted attention among investors after the release of new announcements regarding its first metaverse, “Otherside”. With the announcement, a total of 90 thousand dollars of tokens were bought and sold in 24 hours. Notably, the sixth-ranked ETH whale, BlueWhale0097, bought 250,000 APE for $4,410,000.
