What the data says about APE

APE — ApeCoin at 0x4d224452801aced8b2f0aebe155379bb5d594381 — is the token of the Bored Ape ecosystem, issued to Yuga Labs' NFT holders at the 2022 peak and governing the APE DAO and its ApeChain ambitions since. It is a brand token of crypto's most famous NFT franchise, priced on what remains of that brand's gravity.

The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $141.9 million market cap — fully circulating at the one-billion supply — with $235.5 thousand of tracked on-chain depth and 189,618 holders. That on-chain book is thin for a cap this size: APE's real trading happens on centralized venues, so the price you see on-chain leans on them.

The mechanical picture is the clean part — mint and freeze both renounced, the full supply out, grade A, 100/100. What the scan can't soften: ~47% sits in the top ten wallets, the token carries no cashflow claim on the brand it names, and its value lives wherever NFT-era attention goes to trade. Structurally honest, economically a sentiment instrument.

Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 46.83% of APE's supply as of 2026-09-27 — meaningful concentration; watch whether the large accounts are pools and lockers or free wallets. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ

Is APE a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, APE scores 92/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $235.50K and 189,618 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.

Can you sell APE, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on APE — no honeypot flag, no transfer pause, no blacklist — and every honeypot GoPlus positively flags is dropped from this index outright. That clears the contract side; how cleanly an exit fills still depends on your size against the $235.50K of measured depth.

Who holds most of APE?

The wallet that created APE holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 189,618; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.

Can APE's supply be inflated?

No — the contract cannot mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the circulating figure is a ceiling.

What is the APE contract address?

The APE contract address on Ethereum is 0x4d224452801aced8b2f0aebe155379bb5d594381. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.

Where can you buy APE safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if APE clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x4d224452801aced8b2f0aebe155379bb5d594381) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
