ApeCoin is one of the top performers this week, rising more than 30% this week to a record $ 27. But today, the price of ApeCoin has fallen significantly by more than 15%. Just four days after the $ 1 million BAYC NFT hack, a thief abused Instagram to access the official Bored Ape Yacht Club account, post a phishing link, and steal an NFT. User’s account. Let’s see what the future holds for ApeCoin.
$ 1 million worth of BAYCNFT stolen
This week began with a hacker misusing an official Bored Ape Yach Club account to post a phishing link to a fake airdrop. When an unsuspecting user accessed the link and connected the wallet, the thief wiped the NFT from the wallet and forwarded it to his address.
The thief escaped with an NFT of over $ 1 million. The change in a very tragic event reminds us that cryptocurrencies are still in the wild west and holding thousands of dollars worth of NFTs in hot wallets is a terrible idea.
However, since AirDrop was announced via BAYC’s official Instagram account, we can’t necessarily blame NFT holders for this hack. The BAYC Foundation or Yuga Labs seems to be accountable for user losses and need to compensate victims of this hack.
ApeCoin price
After the hack, the price of ApeCoin continued to rise, despite the fact that the rest of the crypto market traded flat and showed a slight bearish momentum. Cryptocurrencies have recovered all week long, with APE dropping more than 15% in a single day.
Looking at the CoinMarketCap chart above, most of the APE trading volume is around $ 20. Many have brought FOMO to market for over $ 25, but most traders have decided to sell or buy dips at the $ 20 level without expecting a further drop to $ 18. Did.
Overall, the market is still relatively healthy, the APE fix today could simply be due to the weekend, and the rally could come back next week.
ApeCoin’s current valuation is relatively high at $ 6 billion, surpassing all Metaverse crypto coins, including Decentraland and The Sandbox. As such, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy and were just launched last month, so a 10-20% fix is not surprising. The true rally begins as ApeCoin begins to expand its ecosystem, provide utilities and build the Web3 economy.
