Ancient8, Apu Apustaja surge over 100% as Bitcoin plunges to $82,400

Bitcoin dropped below $83,000 on Sunday as the crypto market continues its downward trend, yet several altcoins like Ancient8 and Apu Apustaja have turned bullish. A8 has surged 160% in the past day, trading at $0.259 from a low of $0.09628. This massive price movement follows Bithumb’s listing of A8 several months ago. The South Korean exchange, one of the largest in Asia, appears to have created a delayed effect as attention turns toward the token. A8 24H price chart Market analysts point to three key factors behind this surge: increasing global attention, growing adoption rates, and a combination of strong holders and new market entrants. Beyond these market factors, there have been no major project developments to explain the sudden price jump. https://twitter.com/kuradenshin_/status/1901117321344958885 Second on CoinGecko’s top gainers list , APU has climbed 85% over the last 24 hours, reaching $0.0002479 from $0.0001325.
