ApeCoin Reports ApePay Transactions in Seoul

ApeCoin says the first ApePay payments bought apparel at a Seongsu pop-up and that Bored & Hungry accepted APE during Ape Seoul.

ApeCoin said on October 4 that the first ApePay network payments were completed for apparel at the Bored Ape Yacht Club Seongsu pop-up, and that Bored & Hungry was accepting APE. Official Ape Seoul pages place both activities within the September 29–October 4 program.

The announcement supports an attributed point-of-sale use during a defined event; it does not disclose transaction count, value, settlement time, fees or merchant retention after the event. The development is separate from earlier checkout announcements because it identifies completed payments at named Seoul venues, but it remains a narrow event-level adoption signal.
