What is ApeCoin?

Buy ApeCoin: Why do investors buy ApeCoin (APE)? What is it? Apecoin is a governance token built on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s part of a vibrant ecosystem that aims to revolutionise art, gaming, entertainment, and digital experiences.

What does ApeCoin do?

ApeCoin isn’t just a fancy digital collectible; it has real-world applications.

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)

Ever heard of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)? BAYC is a collection of unique digital apes. Owning an ape NFT grants you membership to an exclusive club. ApeCoin powers this ecosystem.

Otherside metaverse

Imagine stepping into a virtual world where you can explore, create, and interact with others. The Otherside metaverse is that place, and ApeCoin fuels its growth.

ApeSwap decentralised exchange (DEX)

ApeSwap is a DEX where you can trade tokens. ApeCoin plays a crucial role in its operation.

Benji Bananas gaming platform

Benji Bananas is a gaming platform within the Ape ecosystem. ApeCoin ensures that bananas (the in-game currency) flow smoothly.

Fungible governance token

ApeCoin is like a digital badge that gives you a say in how things work within the Ape ecosystem. Holders of the token can participate in decision-making processes related to the project.

Ethereum blockchain

Think of Ethereum as a giant digital playground where developers can build all sorts of cool stuff. ApeCoin lives here, and it’s based on a set of rules called smart contracts. These contracts ensure transparency and a level of protection.

Popular Culture

While ApeCoin might not be as famous as Bitcoin or Dogecoin, it’s gaining traction. You’ll find enthusiasts discussing it on social media, creating memes, and even incorporating it into their digital art. It’s like a secret handshake among those who believe in the power of apes and decentralised creativity.

Meme or Utility?

It isn’t just a memecoin. It’s a utility token with real-world applications. Memecoins often start as jokes and don’t serve any purpose beyond making people laugh. ApeCoin, on the other hand, empowers an entire ecosystem.

Specific risks associated with DeFi tokens Decentralised Finance (or 'DeFi') tokens (e.g. UNI, AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology. DeFi tokens carry the following risks:Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens. Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralised manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets. Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens. Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or 'oracles. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols. Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

Specific risks associated with meme coins: 'Meme coins' (e.g. DOGE, SHIB, PEPE) are crypto-assets whose value is driven primarily by community interest and online trends. Meme coins carry the following risks: • Volatility risk: Meme coins can have extreme price volatility, often experiencing rapid and unpredictable price fluctuations within short periods. The value of meme coins can be influenced by social media trends, celebrity endorsements, and other factors unrelated to traditional investment fundamentals. • Lack of utility: Meme coins often lack intrinsic value or utility, being primarily driven by community interest, online trends, and speculative trading. • Market manipulation: Meme coins may be susceptible to increased risk of market manipulation including 'pump-and-dump' schemes, where the price is artificially inflated followed by a sudden crash. • Lack of transparency: Meme coins may have limited available information about their development teams, goals, and financials. This lack of transparency can make it challenging to assess the credibility and potential of a meme coin accurately. • Emotional investing: Meme coins often garner strong emotional reactions from investors, leading to impulsive decisions. Emotional trading activity can amplify losses.

Specific risks associated with stablecoins: There is a risk that any particular stablecoin may not hold their value as against any fiat currency; or may not hold their value as against any other asset. Stablecoins carry the following risks: · Depegging events: Depegging events may occur with stablecoins that fail to maintain adequate controls and risk mitigants. A depegging event is when the value of the stablecoin no longer matches the value of the underlying asset. This could result in a loss of some or all of your investment. • Counterparty risk: Counterparty risk arises when an asset is backed by collateral, involving a third party maintaining the collateral, which introduces risk if the party becomes insolvent or fails to maintain it. • Redemption risk: Redemption risk refers to the possibility that an asset's ability to be redeemed for underlying collateral may not be as anticipated during market fluctuations or operational issues. • Collateral risk: Collateral risk refers to the possibility of the collateral's value declining or becoming volatile, potentially impacting the asset's stability, particularly when it is another crypto-asset. • Exchange rate fluctuations: Stablecoins, often denominated in US Dollars, expose investors to fluctuations in the USD:GBP exchange rate. • Algorithmic risk: Algorithm risk refers to the possibility of an asset's stability being compromised due to unexpected failure or behaviour of the underlying algorithm, potentially leading to loss of value.
