Yuga Labs, which created the popular NFT collection, introduced a new ApeCoin token
Holders of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection will be able to receive new ApeCoin (APE) tokens for free.
The altcoin was launched by BAYC Yuga Labs, with 15% of the APE emission allocated for distribution. It will be possible to apply for a coin within 90 days, starting from March 17.
The company also created a fund to control the Ape Foundation token and a decentralized organization DAO, which will manage the new altcoin. The community will be allocated 62% of the total APE.
The listing of the ApeCoin has already been announced by the largest crypto exchange Binance in terms of trading volume. Cryptocurrency trading will start on March 17 in pairs with bitcoin, BUSD and USDT. At the moment, users can already replenish the APE balance, withdrawals will be open approximately from March 18.
