Binance crypto exchange has temporarily suspended lending of ApeCoin (APE) due to a rise in demand exceeding the token supply.
The APE loan page is presenting a notification stating the remaining quantity for APE token lending is insufficient due to overwhelming demand, according to crypto reporter Wu Blockchain.
Binance lending allows users to take out a simple crypto-collateral loan. In just one month, APE tokens have become the most sought-after cryptocurrency. Since its start, Apecoin prices have increased by 2145 percent. Meanwhile, APE’s 24-hour trade volume has increased by almost 300 percent to $7.4 billion.
Meanwhile, the ApeCoin is the third most liquidated coin in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass data. In the last 24 hours, $5.62 million worth of APE tokens has been removed from the market. While more than $20.37 million and $20.29 million worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum were liquidated from the market, respectively.
By enrolling and distributing ApeCoin, Binance just announced a token voucher prize.
