Metaverse has been one of the areas that attracted the attention of many people and institutions over the past year. In this article, we will cover the latest developments in popular metaverse coin projects. Here are the hot developments in ApeCoin, Decentraland and The Sandbox…
ApeCoin whale sold its holdings
Tech entrepreneur and NFT whale Jeff Huang aka Machi Big Brother is selling APE assets. The influencer was allegedly pissed off at a proposed Magic Eden market for Apecoin. APE prices have dropped 8.23 percent in the last 24 hours and are currently trading at $6.70. “It looks like @machibigbrother is dumping all @yugalabs assets as they are unable to dispose of them,” Metaverse expert Degentraland said earlier today.
It seems that all happened after ApeCoin DAO announced a possible marketplace discussion for APEs created by leading Solana NFT marketplace Magic Eden. Magic Eden’s vision is to create a low-fee marketplace powered by APE, where all rewards go back to the community. In summary, this is where APE holders can buy and sell ApeCoinDAO NFTs. This includes BAYC, MAYC and BAKC. ApeCoin also tweeted about the Magic Eden proposal and asked its owners to join the discussion. Sharing the tweet, Machi Big Brother said, “Damn ApeCoin. “I like MagicEden but it’s ridiculous that they never retweeted X or ApeFi,” he said.
