It makes perfect sense that any $APE funds given to build new projects would need to be swapped for stables or exchanged out for fiat. That is precisely what I would need to do were I to fulfill a project, because while the Yugaverse may run on $APE, the real world doesn’t. It’s a huge dilemma, and not one easily solved. IMO the only value $APE truly holds are activations created by Yuga - merch drops, mints, partner integrations (The Hundreds, Superplastic), etc. until the Otherside releases - and even then, with only 126K $APE holders currently, that’s a horrible DAU number for a game of that scale.
The way to onboard is to have the games playable by all and $APE P2E by all - but you obv cannot use it until you set up a proper wallet. Let people see how much in fiat their earnings in $APE are worth, then they’ll onboard (and quickly sell off, but is what it is and something Yuga will need to address through their economy mechanics).
