A New Meme Coin has Started to Gain Attention
The day that Shiba Inu wallet addresses showed a massive downfall was the same day that another meme coin sensation hit the cryptocurrency markets. The new coin that some have also dubbed a shit coin is the native token of the Bored Ape Yacht NFT collection called Ape Coin.
In an unexpected turn of events, the meme coin gained $40 within a few hours, backed by a speculation trail. However, the token soon plunged back to $8.50. Despite the visible volatility and risk factor, Ape Coin managed to attract the attention of many investors who want to make a quick buck. Google data indicates that for the current month, Buy Shib Coin searches have dropped to only 3 in the current month.
