Why is the ApeCoin crypto gaining traction?
The Ethereum-based ApeCoin token is the native token of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) ecosystem, and it has been on an absolute tear for the past few days.
The rally in the token price could be due to some reports claiming that the BAYC is planning to enter the metaverse, which could make a significant step for the BAYC's collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Yuga Labs created ApeCoin, and it is reportedly a product of ApeCoin DAO, a new organizational unit governed by the token holders. Notably, Yuga Labs could collaborate with other game studios for the success of the metaverse project.

The total crypto market volume soared to US$ 90.95 billion after recording a surge of 10.95 per cent over the previous day. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's dominance increased by 0.2 per cent in the last 24 hours.
