Did ApeCoin justify BAYC holders’ panic as Otherside took the reign
The latest from Yuga Labs, creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, launched Otherside recently, and in a very short time, the collection has made a name for itself, confirming that it’s not just another collection from a famous creator.
Given the utility and hype Otherside has generated, it’s not surprising to see investors leaning towards the NFT collection. However, as Yuga Labs latest creation boomed, its most significant creation to date began an interesting journey.
In fact, in the last 24 hours, the most expensive NFT sold belonged to the Otherside collection fetching $280.5k with the sale. However, the second, third, and fifth places following Otherside belonged to BAYC.

But, it may not last for too long since the collection is aiming to be the biggest NFT collection in the space.
Although it doesn’t have that kind of bandwidth, it is slowly catching up. In the span of fewer than 30 days, it has sold NFTs worth almost a million dollars, treading right behind BAYC.

While BAYC is still worth over $1.6 billion, its token is not performing equally well.
In the span of a week, ApeCoin fell by 21.86%, trading at $6.27 at the time of writing. The broader crypto market’s bearishness is getting heavier for investors of APE to bear since its current price is way lower than what it launched at.
