ApeCoin (APE)
Bored Ape network token. ApeChain L3. Yuga Labs governance.
Ranked 129th of 251 rated tokens. Scoring pass 11 Jun 2026.
What the numbers say
APE scores 102 of 250 across the 25-variable framework, which places it 129th of 251 rated tokens and inside the lower half of the set. The framework verdict is WATCH.
The score rests on Exchange Depth 6/10, 37th of 251, Social Mindshare 5/10, 41st of 251, Insider Selling 5/10, 42nd of 251 and Competitive Moat 5/10, 57th of 251.
Against the same universe, APE sits in the bottom third on Regulatory Safety 4/10, 213th of 251. These are the variables that would have to move for the verdict to change.
100% of eventual supply is already circulating, so vesting is not a live risk for APE. Price has to be justified by demand rather than absorbed against a cliff.
APE trades 99.5% below its all-time high of $26.70. Recovering that level is a 200x move, not a 99.5% one, which is the arithmetic most drawdown charts hide.
The framework score gained 102 points against the previous pass (0 to 102). Revisions of this size follow a change in the underlying variables, not a change in price.
25-variable breakdown
Each variable is scored 1 to 10 and ranked against every other rated token, so a 7 that ranks 20th means something different from a 7 that ranks 180th. The rank is the part that is hard to get anywhere else.
