Apecoin has four staking pools.
ApeCoin has four staking pools designed to cater for all classes of its holders.
The first staking pool is meant for those who hold the APE token but do not own any of the Bored Ape-related NFTs. The other three pools are meant for Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), and Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) holders.
While BAYC and MAYC holders can stake their NFTs independently, BAKC holders have to pair theirs with one of the former NFTs to get the staking benefits.
As of press time2.7 million tokens have been staked in the BAYC pool, 1.5 million in the APE pool, and 858,651 and 211,442 staked tokens have been staked in the MAYC and BAKC pools, respectively.
Meanwhile, PeckShield reported that anyone who stakes in any of the three NFT pools and then sells their NFT would lose their staked tokens. The blockchain analytical firm highlighted one address that took advantage of this to borrow 82 ETH from dYdX and buy a staked BAYC.

The firm revealed that the trader got the 6,400 staked coins attached to the NFT, swapped them for about 20 ETH, and sold the BAYC for 68 ETH before repaying the loan.
US ApeCoin holders are blocked
Subject to availability InformationApeCoin holders in the United States, Crimea, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Iran cannot stake their tokens because they are geoblocked.
While the firm cited regulatory concerns as its reasons, the crypto community was critical of the decision because most APE holders are in the United States.
