While the price of Apecoin is falling, the concentration of large APE holders remains the same
Just over two months ago, crypto asset apecoin (APE) made headlines after Apecoin DAO distributed millions of apecoin (APE) to NFT owners. APE was sent to BAYC, Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) and Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) holders.
On March 17, APE switched hands for $ 10.36 per unit or 53% higher than the current price ($ 4.81 per APE). Following the launch, the APE continued to rise in USD value, and by April 28, apecoin reached an all-time high (ATH) of $ 26.70 per unit.
At that time on April 28, APE had a circulating supply of around 284,843,750 tokens and it had the 22nd largest market value of 13,000+ cryptocurrencies. Under ATH, APE’s market value also had a dominance rating of around 0.40%. In addition, APE’s concentration of whale units at that time was quite high compared to most top coins.
Today it is a completely different story, at least for APE’s crypto market performance. Over the past month, apecoin has lost 14.5% against the US dollar, but has seen an 8.2% rise over the past seven days. To date, the APE is down 81% since the cryptocurrency’s ATH, but what has not changed much is the whale concentration.
Bitcoin.com News reported on April 23 that 52% of APEs in circulation were held by 100 addresses. The APE distribution has not changed much since the start of the crypto winter and the value of the crypto economy continues to slide. Statistics from coincarp.com’s APE rich list indicate that the 100 best wallets own 51.21% of the circulating supply.
Calculations from intotheblock.com show that apecoin (APE) has a concentration of large owners of around 91% today. It is much more concentrated than the bitcoins (BTC) rating today, which is around 10%.
