Bored Ape Yacht Club [BAYC]<\/span> month-on-month (MoM) performance has been nothing to be thrilled about. Not only has the<\/span> NFT<\/span> collection declined in profitability, but buyers also seem to have lost interest in owning one of them. <\/span><\/p>\n

For most, the global NFT market drop was a concrete reason. But how do you explain that one of the most respected collections had less than 300 buyers for the whole of August?<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the case of BAYC as there were only 263 unique buyers for the whole month. This record was a 16-month low since its lowest in April 2021. It seems that the collection had taken an underperforming spirit into September.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>NFTGo<\/span><\/a>, only 24 unique buyers have been involved in trading BAYC since the start of September. This represented a 70% increase over the last seven days. This same underwhelming stance had affected its market cap which was down to $1.74 billion at press time.<\/span><\/p>\n

BAYC was not the only one affected by this redundancy. Its governance token, <\/span>ApeCoin [APE]<\/span> had also suffered the same fate. <\/span><\/p>\n

A look at APE\u2019s thirty-day performance showed a largely unimpressive trend. After rising as high as $7.30 on 7 August, APE was trading at $4.25 at the time of writing. As per <\/span>CoinMarketCap<\/span><\/a>, the price had 11.10% decreased in the last 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it seemed that the APEDAO was currently unconcerned about the price decline. Rather, its recent Twitter post showed that it was more committed to building its governance structure rather than the prices on the charts. Well, comments from a few traders on the Twitter update showed discontent with the APE’s current performance.<\/span><\/p>\n
