Wow, what a whirlwind October it has been! We're still catching our breath from all the excitement that unfolded — launching ApeX Bot, the first ever self-custodial trading bot to support perp trading on Telegram, hitting a sweet milestone with the trading volume of $340M in just 24 hours, and our Staking Program proving to be a gold mine with the average APY for the month of October at 55.9%!
But there's more! Join us as we rewind the tape and relive the moments that made this month truly spectacular at ApeX.
#1 Unleashing ApeX Bot on Telegram
Ever hung out on Telegram and wished for a bot that brings decentralized and self-custodial derivatives trading right at your fingertips? This month, we made it possible.
Test platform functions, sync login status, place, monitor and close orders. It's like having a mini-ApeX right inside your Telegram. You can even boost your referral game by handling referral links and prize claims.
To make the bot's debut a little more special, we launched the 1st phase of ApeX Bot Referral Campaign with a 30,000 USDC prize pool. The buzz and excitement from all of you? Absolutely priceless!
Missed out on your chance to join and earn big? No worries! Stay tuned because the second phase of the referral campaign is launching next month!
#2 We Got Jazzy with TON-USD Listing
As we ventured into the Telegram ecosystem with the launch of ApeX Bot, we also decided to introduce TON on ApeX Pro. So we added the TON-USD perpetual contract with up to 15x leverage for some serious trading power!
To make things a bit more fun, we kicked off the TON TradeFrenzy trading competition, with the traders competing for the highest trading volume and sharing a 3,000 USDC prize pool.
For those who jumped into the TradeFrenzy, hope you had a blast! We sure did setting it up for you.
#3 Welcoming LINK-USD with a Bang
Speaking of new contract additions, there's one more to celebrate this month. With the addition of LINK-USD with up to 15x leverage, we now have a total of 22 listings on ApeX Pro. For everyone who's as stoked about welcoming LINK to our ApeX fam as we are, happy trading! We're thrilled to have Chainlink onboard.
#4 AMA with Mantle's Arjun Kalsy
We had a blast this month hosting an AMA with Arjun Kalsy from Mantle on ApeX's Twitter Spaces. We discussed ApeX, Mantle and the ins and outs of our recent integration with Mantle Network, paving the way for more seamless, efficient and cost-friendly cross-chain deposits and withdrawals on ApeX via Mantle Network.
Missed it? No worries, catch up on all we discussed here.
And keep your ears perked, as something exciting has been brewing to bring you a regular dose of insightful AMAs. The official announcement is coming your way soon. Stay curious!
#5 Apes in Space and Beyond with Arbitrum

We teamed up with Arbitrum for an Odyssey of our own. Participants had a unique opportunity to earn exclusive NFTs symbolizing ApeX's cosmic endeavors after completing a few tasks.
Our partnership with Arbitrum doesn't just cement our place in the stars; it showcases our commitment to working with one of the best and offering our community unique experiences that go beyond just trading.
So for those who hopped aboard this cosmic voyage, hope you've secured your special NFT!
#6 Embarking on ApeX's Interstellar Quest

#7 Halloween-Special Rewarding Raffle
And as we are closing in the month of October, the eerie winds have brought along not just chills but a thrilling raffle for all the fearless ApeXers out there.
This Halloween, we conjured up a bewitching treat with a quiz that's as mysterious as the night itself with 200 $USDC rewards up for grabs for 40 brave souls daring enough to take our spine-chilling quiz. 1 more day to go, join the fun and take a shot at sharing the prize pool.
