ApeCoin rallies 66% after ApeChain launch
ApeCoin (CRYPTO:APE), the governance token of the APE ecosystem, has surged by 66%, bringing it back into the top 100 cryptocurrencies.
The spike follows the announcement of the ApeChain launch, a Layer-3 blockchain introduced by the ApeCoin Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
APE’s price rose from $0.75 to over $1 after the news, with analysts predicting further potential growth.
ApeCoin's team announced, “Bridges are live. Bring your tokens to ApeChain now to start earning native yield on APE, ETH, and various stablecoins.”
This announcement has significantly boosted interest in ApeCoin, driving up network activity and volume.
Santiment data revealed that ApeCoin’s on-chain volume surged by nearly 3000%, approaching $1 billion.
Moreover, the number of new addresses interacting with ApeCoin jumped from 83 to 3,235, reflecting increased adoption and interest in ApeChain’s new capabilities.
The launch of ApeChain has also drawn comparisons to Solana-based Pump.fun, with growing interest from traders.
Within three hours of the announcement, Camelot DEX on Arbitrum (CRYPTO:ARB) reported that ApeChain’s volume had exceeded $5 million.
Analysts suggest that if this trend continues, ApeCoin’s price could rise to $1.47 and potentially reach $2.
“The momentum around APE is bullish,” according to the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator.
However, there are concerns that profit-taking by long-term holders could cause the price to fall to $0.86.
At the time of writing, the ApeCoin price was $1.47.

At the Blockchain Association Policy Summit, U.S. Senators Gillibrand and Lummis stated that the "Crypto Market Structure Bill" is expected to have its draft released by the end of this week, with revisions and hearings scheduled for next week. The bill aims to establish clear boundaries for digital assets by adopting a classification-based regulatory framework, clearly distinguishing between digital commodities and digital securities, and providing a pathway for exemptions for mature blockchains to ensure that regulation does not stifle technological progress. The bill also requires digital commodity trading platforms to register with the CFTC and establishes a joint advisory committee to prevent regulatory gaps or overlapping oversight.
