The ApeCoin DAO is dead. And that is exactly why $APE

APE
0.1531
+3.02%
just surged 66%.
- Fact 1: 90% of the total $APE supply is now unlocked. The structural inflation that crushed the price for years is effectively over.
- Fact 2: Yuga Labs appointed a new CEO and centralized control into "ApeCo".
Decentralization is a great marketing buzzword. But it is a terrible business model for speed. By killing the DAO, Yuga removed their biggest execution bottleneck.
$APE is no longer a governance token for a slow-moving community. It is now the centralized fuel for ApeChain.
Capital follows execution, not ideology.
