Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: TechFlow
Recently, the gaming sector has seen a collective rebound, with signs of long-awaited sector rotation finally emerging.
The biggest market story from yesterday to today has been the explosive price surge of $APE, more than doubling in value. At first glance, this appears driven by the broader rally in gaming-related assets—but how did it end up doubling so quickly? A quick scroll through social media reveals that meme attention, which was yesterday focused on goats and geese, has now fully shifted to Apechain.
Yes, Apechain has officially entered the Meme Pump arena.
Apechain Enters the Meme Market
In the early hours of October 20 (UTC+8), Apechain’s first Pump application, Ape Express, launched at 4:30 AM. The Apecoin team promptly engaged in promotion, and their direct involvement sent longtime BAYC community OGs into a frenzy. After enduring an entire bear market and half of a bull run without much action, BAYC OGs finally have an outlet for their pent-up meme-fueled wealth aspirations. Within the first hour of launch, Ape Express recorded over $1 million in trading volume; within 12 hours, that figure exceeded $25 million.

Want to Jump In? Beware of Scams
With Apecoin surging and new winners emerging on-chain daily, already restless participants are growing even more impatient—many eager to dump their Apecoin straight into the action.
But as always, where there's money, there are scammers. The excitement around Apechain isn’t limited to users—on-chain phishing scammers were among the first to spot this new “opportunity.” Less than an hour after Ape Express launched, Pop Punk (@PopPunkOnChain), Co-Founder of Web3 security and transparency platform g8keep, reported being phished on ApeChain, losing $110,000.
If even industry security experts can fall victim due to momentary lapses, it shows just how rampant on-chain fraud has become...

Summary: Can Meme Coins Revive Legacy Projects Once Again?
At the time of writing, Apecoin has surged over 100% since midnight today, also pulling up other gaming-related tokens.
Rumors are circulating that dYdX will soon launch its own Meme Pump-style app. Following the news, $DYDX briefly rallied around 30%. Clearly, the current market is temporarily rewarding legacy projects that pivot into memes. Similar to the inscription craze in Q4 last year and the TRON Pump wave this past summer, launching memes has once again become a go-to strategy for reviving older projects.
Preliminary results suggest Apechain’s move into memes is off to a solid start. Whether this momentum will be short-lived or sustainable remains to be seen—we’ll keep watching.
