Odaily Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge announced on X that the team will implement several adjustments to ApeCoin. Previously, due to regulatory uncertainty, Yuga Labs and ApeCo adopted a parallel coordination model, which resulted in lower efficiency. As the regulatory environment evolves, the team has decided to simplify the structure and eliminate the independent ApeCo lead role. ApeCo Lead Cam will depart, while the ApeChain core technology and BD teams will collaborate directly with Yuga Labs. Certain other team members will also be leaving, with the transition set to be completed by June 5.

BAYC floor price doubles within a month, signaling signs of NFT market recovery
According to CoinDesk, the floor price of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs has risen from approximately 5 ETH to over 10 ETH in the past month, while ApeCoin (APE) rebounded from below $0.10 to around $0.16 during the same period, with trading volume notably expanding. Meanwhile, repeated security vulnerabilities and persistently declining yields in the DeFi sector have driven some capital toward the NFT market. The financialization trend of NFTs is also intensifying: a recent $2.8 million loan collateralized by a CryptoPunk attracted widespread attention, with the lender expected to earn roughly $138,000 in interest over 90 days. Blue-chip collections such as Pudgy Penguins have also strengthened concurrently, and market expectations surrounding a potential token launch by OpenSea have further boosted sentiment.
