Apeing
Apeing is the act of quickly and impulsively investing significant capital into a new or trending cryptocurrency—especially meme coins or NFT projects—without conducting deep research or risk assessment, driven often by FOMO and hype. On Solana, apeing is linked to the rapid trading of high-risk meme tokens and NFTs, using platforms purpose-built for this type of speculative activity.
