Why Is The ApeCoin Price Up 100% Today?

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has temporarily suspended lending of ApeCoin (APE) as its current supply of the token is unable to meet a surge in demand.

According to crypto reporter Wu Blockchain, the APE lending page is showing a notice that due to excessive demand the remaining amount for APE token lending is insufficient.

APE demand has skyrocketed ahead of the launch of Yuga Labs’ widely anticipated metaverse, Otherside.
