In the past few days, the gaming sector has collectively rebounded, and the long-awaited sector rotation effect has begun to show some signs.
The most concerning issue in the market from yesterday to today is the doubling of the $APE price. At first glance, it seems to be driven by the overall rise of the gaming sector, but how did it manage to double? A quick check on social media reveals that the meme hype around goats and geese yesterday has now shifted to Apechain.
Yes, Apechain has also decided to start a Meme Pump.
Apechain Enters the Meme Market
At 4:30 am (UTC+8) on October 20th, Apechain's first Pump application Ape Express announced its launch, with the Apecoin official promptly participating in the interaction. The official's direct involvement in the promotion has directly ignited the old OGs of the BAYC community, who have endured an entire bear market and half a bull market. In the first hour of its launch, the trading volume of Ape Express exceeded $1 million, and within 12 hours, the trading volume had exceeded $25 million.
Introduction to the Hot Tokens on Ape Express

Eager to Participate? Beware of Phishing
On one hand, the Apecoin mainnet is being pumped, and on the other hand, large MC memecoins are emerging on the chain. The already restless players are now even more eager. They can't wait to All In after buying Apecoin.
But as the saying goes, "where there's money, there are scammers." The excitement brought by Apechain is not only for the players, but also for the phishers on the chain, who have immediately set their sights on the new "opportunity": Less than an hour after the launch of Ape Express, Pop Punk (@PopPunkOnChain), the Co-Founder of the Web3 security and transparency platform g8keep, posted that he had been phished and lost $110,000 on ApeChain.
Even industry security experts can be caught off guard by phishers, which shows how rampant the phishing phenomenon is on the chain...

Summary: Is Meme Once Again the Revival Card for Old Projects?
As of the time of writing, Apecoin has already risen over 100% from midnight today, and it has also driven the rise of some gaming sector tokens.
Meanwhile, there are rumors that dYdX will also launch a Meme Pump-style application, and the news has caused the $DYDX token to surge by around 30% in a short period of time. It is clear that the current market is temporarily buying into the old projects' foray into Meme.
Looking at it preliminarily, Apechain's first move to enter the Meme market seems to be going well. As for whether Apechain's heat will be a fleeting phenomenon or a steady stream, we will keep an eye on it.
