Solana Nears $100 as BNB Prepares Upgrade, New Project Apeing Gains Attention

Solana has been steadily climbing towards the $100 region after months of consolidation. The move was accompanied by an 8.70% rise in SOL's price over the past 24 hours, pushing its value near $97.09.

BNB is also preparing for a network upgrade on August 25, 2026, which will temporarily suspend certain deposit and withdrawal services on major exchanges.

While established cryptocurrencies like Solana and BNB continue to make headlines, a new project called Apeing has been gaining attention with its unique approach to security. The project's Audit First strategy prioritizes security reviews before the planned token sale, which is set to begin at $0.0001 per token.

The Apeing Whitelist allows supporters to receive official updates and participation instructions before wider participation begins. With over 12,000 whitelisted members, the project is building a community around its meme coin brand, focusing on culture, energy, and utility.
