  • ApeCoin DAOโ€™s proposal AIP-448 suggests building ApeCoinโ€™s hotel.
  • Community talks concern a hotel in a prime location in Bangkok, Thailand.
  • ApeCoin dives 96.8% from a double-digit all-time high with low volumes.

The community behind ApeCoin (APE) is considering opening a real-life hotel in a prime location in downtown Bangkok, Thailand. Inspired by the blue-chip NFT collection, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), APE was worth a whopping $26.70 at its peak on April 28, 2022.

Free 50-Night Stay for ApeCoin Holders?

Since then, APE backtracked an eye-watering 96.8% despite a capped supply of 1,000,000,000 and several utility cases in metaverse games. Despite its separation from Yuga Labs, ApeCoin remains a means of payment for Dookey Dash and the Otherside metaverse franchise.

In spending proposal AIP-448 submitted by an anonymous member of ApeCoin DAO, the author seeks to โ€œenhance the BAYC IP Exposure, visibility and utility of ApeCoin, and generate actual revenue for ApeCoin DAO.โ€ Intriguingly, the proposal includes a free 50-night stay for all APE holders.

Whatโ€™s Included in the ApeCoin Hotel

The proposal to build a hotel in a top location in Bangkok, Thailand, is estimated to set ApeCoin DAO treasury back $356K. As of press time, it had received 87.72% approval votes, while 12.28% voted against it. The proposal names 50 free nights at the hotel as a main benefit for ApeCoin holders, including business events and parties at the rooftop bar.

Conversely, the proposal offers an APE swimming pool, ApeCoin bar, MBA-themed art exhibition areas, and BAYC-decorated conference rooms, including the Otherside, Apechain, and Mocaverse. Furthermore, 50% of the revenue generated by the ApeCoin hotel is returned to the ApeCoin DAO treasury one year after the ApeCoin hotel in Bangkok kicks off.

With a target of 70,000 visitors per year, ApeCoinโ€™s hotel in Thailand aims to serve as a BAYC community haven. If the proposal is granted the $356K fund allocation, it plans to renovate an existing hotel in Khlong San, Bangkok. ApeCoin holders can vote for the fate of this proposal until Aug 1, 2024, 4:00 AM. 

As of press time, the primate-embossed meme coin ApeCoin (APE) is changing hands at $0.84, having gained 12.6% over the past seven days. 

However, ApeCoin DAOโ€™s native crypto is just 27.7% up from the all-time low of $0.6656, hit on July 8, 2024. APE continues to register low trading volumes below $100 million a day as the community awaits the ApeChain. Set to debut later this year, the ApeCoin communityโ€™s blockchain plans to host all BAYC-related events on-chain.

On the Flipside

  • Thereโ€™s been a trend of cutting off non-fungible token-related ties due to the NFT market’s revenue tumbling 63.35% in a year.
  • Big brand names like Starbucks discontinued their NFT reward programs, while X social platform cut off NFT support for Premium members.

Why This Matters

Demonstrating a crypto projectโ€™s applicability as a real-world brand enhances crypto adoption and potentially boosts the coinโ€™s value due to genuine usage.
