What Could it Be?
Nobody really knows if the artwork is indefinitely compromised, or if this was a white hack of some sort; where the hackers did it on behalf of the club to find errors and flaws in the system. Only time will tell whether or not the hacker would even come to the forefront.
Where does APE Coin stand?
Although the collection’s native token APE Coin is connected to the popular NFT art, after some analysis it shows little to no effect on the crypto. The volatility spiked for a short period of time, then showed constancy according to the trends.
