Fantasy Pepe (FEPE) Emerges as a Contender to Outpace PEPE's Recent Rally

PEPE (PEPE) has surged about 13% in the past week as of mid-May 2025

PEPE (PEPE) price has surged about 13% over the past week as of mid-May, outperforming its meme-coin peers. The token now trades at around $0.000013–$0.000014. For comparison, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) each rose roughly 10–12% over the same period.

Crucially, PEPE’s trading volume has been exceptional. On March 27 it logged roughly $970 million in 24-hour volume – about 27% of its market cap. In contrast, Dogecoin’s volume was 6% of its market cap and Shiba’s 5.6%. In other words, PEPE is generating substantially more on-chain activity than the older meme coins, a bullish signal in the run-up to summer.

Its market cap (around $5.7 billion) is still well below Dogecoin’s ~$33B and Shiba’s ~$9B, indicating room to grow if momentum continues.

Analysts Forecast New Highs

Crypto analysts remain upbeat on PEPE. Technical traders like “Rose Premium Signals” noted that PEPE has just bounced off a key long-term support level and is poised to retest its all-time highs. In fact, one chart analysis suggests PEPE could reach around $0.000034 by May – about 4 times from late-March levels.

Moreover, analyst Butcher expects PEPE to reclaim an ascending channel in April, paving the way for a rally toward the top of that range near $0.000040 (roughly 5× gains) by late spring. While a short-term pullback is possible, many traders point to improving fundamentals (a steadier Bitcoin, a revitalized crypto market) as fuel for a sustained rally in PEPE.

Now, attention shifts to a new meme token: Fantasy Pepe ($FEPE).

Meme Token Spin-Offs Outperform

Historically, memecoin spin-offs have often outpaced the flagship token. For instance, in December 2024, smaller Pepe-themed projects delivered life-changing returns. One presale called “Pepe Unchained” saw 10× gains in a week.

With PEPE itself recovering, traders are scanning for the next high-upside bet. In that context, attention has turned to Fantasy Pepe ($FEPE) – a fresh meme token with AI-powered utilities. Early forecasts suggest FEPE could be a 10× or 20× mover when the token is launched.

Fantasy Pepe: Football Meets Meme

Fantasy Pepe ($FEPE) is a new meme coin merging artificial intelligence and football-themed gameplay. Launched in late April 2025, FEPE is in an ongoing tiered presale where early buyers can acquire tokens at low prices. Its core idea is “predict-to-earn”: the project runs virtual football leagues managed by AI systems, and holders use $FEPE tokens to predict match outcomes. Correct forecasts earn users additional tokens as rewards.

Under the hood, Fantasy Pepe employs advanced AI (including ChatGPT and DeepSeek) to build and manage meme soccer teams, even using a hypothetical AI “referee” in each match. Games are fast-paced (text-based “60-second matches”) and designed for entertainment. Importantly, every prediction and result is recorded on-chain via smart contracts, ensuring transparency.

The platform also incorporates social features – users can join meme clubs, compete in seasonal leagues, climb leaderboards, and vote on platform rules. This community-driven structure is intended to attract both crypto speculators and football fans. For added real-world appeal, Fantasy Pepe has partnered with Marbelli FC (a Spanish football club) for co-branded jerseys and promotions, bridging the gap between the token and actual sports.

Presale, Staking and Tokenomics

FEPE’s presale uses a tiered pricing model: it began at $0.0002 per token and will eventually list around $0.0053. Each phase increases the price, so early contributors get in cheapest – a mechanism that can generate large upside for presale buyers. If all prediction market features launch on schedule, the project’s roadmap envisions FEPE tokens multiplying manyfold from the initial presale price.

Another major draw is staking. Fantasy Pepe has set aside 15% of its supply specifically for staking rewards. Presale participants can immediately begin staking $FEPE (even before exchange listing) and earn yield. The rates are up to 1500% APY (annual percentage yield), though actual payouts depend on factors like stake size and timing. In practice, early and larger stakers capture the best returns. A built-in “staking pool” helps ensure these rewards are paid sustainably; roughly 1
