ApeCoin

24h change: +13.55%. From $0.1472 to $0.1671.

• ApeCoin rose more than 15 percent in 24 hours with strong buying activity and elevated volatility. The price moved above its key moving averages on multiple timeframes and showed positive readings on momentum indicators. This move comes without a single major announcement but aligns with increased trading interest and broader market dynamics. It highlights how technical factors can drive short-term price action for ecosystem tokens like APE.
• ApeFest is scheduled for October 17 2026 at Beeple Studios in Charleston. Observers are watching for potential announcements on the Otherside metaverse roadmap, new applications on ApeChain that use APE, and how token holders fit into the structure after the 2025 DAO transition to greater Yuga Labs control. The event takes place alongside an APE unlock and occurs as ApeChain maintains a modest TVL. It represents a key moment for the BAYC-related ecosystem following governance changes and multichain expansions.
• In late September APE launched as a canonical token on Solana via the Sunrise bridge. It recorded substantial first-day trading volume on Raydium and became available as a base pair for new token launches on a memecoin launchpad. This adds to prior upgrades on ApeChain including the ArbOS 51 migration for improved scalability and the shift to USDC as the native stablecoin. These steps increase the token's utility beyond its original Ethereum and governance role.

24h change: -7.28%. From $0.1588 to $0.1473.

• On September 22, 2026, APE became available as a canonical NTT token on Solana through the Sunrise bridge with mint address C1MHyoTJpRTeS9AQCyspNVu2EWAYCZwmJ1jNkEArFP1f. It recorded $17.7 million in trading volume, over 206,000 trades, nearly 20,000 unique traders, and more than 9,100 holders within the first 24 hours. The token is now tradable on Raydium and accepted as a base pair for new token launches on LaunchOnSF. This multichain expansion increases utility and accessibility for the Ape ecosystem beyond Ethereum and ApeChain.
• ApeFest is scheduled for October 17, 2026 at Beeple Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. Reports indicate ApeChain TVL sits at roughly $3.1 million. Following the 2025 dissolution of the ApeCoin DAO and transition to ApeCo under greater Yuga Labs control, the event may address Otherside roadmap, new ApeChain applications that use APE, and involvement for token holders. The gathering occurs after major governance changes and in a period of reduced NFT market activity.
• ApeChain was upgraded to ArbOS 51 on September 9, 2026, improving scalability, gas pricing, and security. The network migrated its native stablecoin from apeUSD to Circle USDC in July 2026 to deepen liquidity with swaps on CamelotDEX. APE functions as the native gas token and supports metaverse and transaction utility. These changes follow the full unlock of the 1 billion token supply and aim to support focused development under the new structure.

24h change: -0.24%. From $0.1588 to $0.1584.

An unlock event coincides with the festival.
• Exploits of old marketplace approvals since September 24 drained over $2.8 million in assets across Ethereum, ApeChain and other networks. Rescuers moved thousands of NFTs worth millions to safety.

24h change: -1.00%. From $0.1326 to $0.1313.

• ApeChain migrated its native stablecoin from apeUSD to Circle's USDC effective July 31 2026.

The upgrade reflects ongoing technical improvements following ApeChain's earlier launch.
• The Ape Accelerator platform is scheduled to launch in Q3 2026 to fund and incubate new projects within the ApeCoin ecosystem. Developers will stake or use APE tokens to submit proposals and participate.

These efforts position APE as a cultural and transactional token beyond price movements.
