Binance Announces ApeCoin (APE) BEP20 Contract Swap: Old APE Deposits/Withdrawals Halted Oct 29, New APE Deposits Open Oct 31

ApeCoin contract swap on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP20) network is set to be supported, per COINOTAG News. The update aims to bolster cross‑chain liquidity for APE and aligns with ongoing BEP20 token‑standard migrations, offering market participants a clearer path to hold and transfer the asset within the Binance ecosystem.

Binance has published a precise migration schedule: the deposits and withdrawals of the legacy APE contract will be suspended at 11:00 on October 29, and deposits for the new APE contract on BEP20 will open at 17:00 on October 31. Users should ensure wallets reflect the updated contract address to safeguard funds during the transition.

This transition underscores Binance’s proactive asset‑management approach, contributing to improved liquidity routing for ApeCoin on BEP20 and reinforcing the exchange’s commitment to token‑standard upgrades across its platform.
