Apeing Into Something

“Apeing Into Something” is a slang term popular on crypto Twitter and within the NFT world, which means buying a considerable amount of a crypto coin or NFT collection relative to your total account buying power or net worth. NFT art investors often exhibit what some consider to be irrational buying behavior when chasing a fast-moving market or quickly appreciating an NFT collection. When investors, especially crypto asset investors, have a “fear of missing out” or FOMO, they often “Ape Into” a collection.
