Daily close and perpetual volume across tracked exchanges
ApeCoin is the token tied to the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem created by Yuga Labs, governed by the ApeCoin DAO and used as gas on ApeChain. It launched in 2022 with an airdrop to holders of the Bored Ape NFT collections. APE perps give traders a liquid way to bet on NFT and culture-driven crypto with leverage, or to short the token when NFT sentiment fades.
APE trades as a sentiment gauge for NFTs, so collection floor prices, Yuga Labs announcements and ApeChain activity all feed into funding and open interest. Unlocks for early backers and contributors added supply over several years. Binance leads perp volume, with WhiteBIT, Bybit and BingX next. Outside the top venue books are thin, so stop orders and liquidations can push price further than on larger tokens.

ApeChain is a blockchain built with Arbitrum technology for the ApeCoin ecosystem, with APE as its native gas token. It was designed to give APE more on-chain use in apps, games and NFT projects. Growth or decline in ApeChain activity is one input traders watch.
APE tends to move with sentiment toward NFTs, especially the Bored Ape and Mutant Ape collections. Rising floor prices and busy NFT markets usually coincide with stronger APE demand, while long NFT downturns have weighed on the token. The link is loose and can break on token-specific news.

ApeCoin launched in March 2022 with part of its supply airdropped to holders of Bored Ape and Mutant Ape NFTs. Other allocations went to an ecosystem fund, Yuga Labs, the collection's founders and launch contributors, with much of it released through unlocks over several years.
APE perpetual futures are derivatives contracts that track the price of APE and never expire. Instead of settling on a date, they use a funding rate to stay close to the spot price. You can go long or short with leverage without holding any APE.
Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. When APE perps trade above the index price, funding is positive and longs pay shorts. When they trade below it, shorts pay longs. Most exchanges settle every 8 hours and some, including Hyperliquid, settle every hour.

Coinperps does not give trading advice. Funding, open interest, the long/short ratio and liquidations show how other traders are positioned, but crowded positioning can last longer than expected. Size positions so a liquidation would not hurt you.
