Pepecoin (PEPE) Explodes to Become the Top-Performing Cryptocurrency

Just when you think you've witnessed all the crazy stuff that can possibly happen in the crypto world, a new shining light pops up

Just when you least expect it and nearly use up all possibilities for what’s left to be discovered in the crypto universe, a new light shines brightly from a part of the internet that’s fully dedicated to meme culture.

It’s none other than Pepe, the meme frog, who’s currently at the top of the digital currency ranking. Surpassing 27 other cryptos, Pepe is valued at 3.42 billion dollars in market capitalization.

Its massive appreciation is a testament to the immense strength of internet culture in financial markets, where laughter and community involvement can boost a token to dizzying heights.

Pepe’s market price is currently at the level of $0.058134, which shows a slight increase of 0.62% in the last day. But numbers don’t lie, and the chart shows a steady upward trend in speculation.

With a 24-hour volume traded of $352.46 million, Pepe holds 10.15% of its market cap, which in turn indicates that traders are actively trading the token in lieu of holding it for a longer period. The token’s fully diluted valuation is a synonym for its market capitalization, and they both stand at $3.42 billion. Thus, a logical conclusion arises, i.e., all 420.69 trillion tokens are being used in the market.

What makes Pepe so special is the contrast with conventional cryptocurrencies and their complicated use cases. It wasn’t long ago that Pepe was launched, in April 2023, and it has been running as an ERC-20 token within the Ethereum blockchain and declared a zero-fee policy. This is the secret of its success so far. There are 426590 holders of Pepe, the majority of whom are naturally drawn to the light-heartedness of the token’s philosophy. It is in the lack of economic utility that Pepe finds its unique selling point; this coin is all about becoming a meme on the back of culture.

Although the project’s tokenomics are rather simple and logical, they are still a well-thought-out strategy. The supply is capped at 420.69 trillion PEPE, and the whole circulating supply is already in the market. There is a re-distribution policy that allows top loyal users to get a bonus, thus they are motivated to stay in the ecosystem, and at the same time, they provide stability to the project. Furthermore, this system, which burns some tokens at certain intervals, aims to keep the tokens scarce and to make the tokens appreciate over time.

Pepe is the kind of cryptocurrency that was made by the people for the people. It started with no presale or centralized ownership and the process was furtive which resulted in 93.1% of the tokens being placed in Uniswap’s liquidity pool where they were actually liquidity provider (LP) tokens and burned. While the rest of the tokens, 6.9%, were sent to a multi-signature wallet for potential listings on the exchange and remain transparent through an ENS name, “pepecexwallet.eth.”

The face of the Frog, which is Pepe, the character that was created by Matt Furie is the whole essence of the token. The project has firmly stated it is not endorsed by Furie. Nevertheless, it’s a tribute to a meme that has its roots in the internet and later became a global phenomenon. This very factor has contributed to Pepe’s rapid growth which can be compared to Dogecoin and Shiba Inu’s meme coin surges.

The dynamics of the market show that Pepe has its ups and downs despite the potential it possesses. The trading volume of the previous 24 hours could be a good pointer for the quick transactions; however, the fact that there was a 9.94% volume increase indicates a growing interest in the token. It should be noted that the token is now 14,725.40% above its all-time low price of $0.000000055142, even though it is still worth 71.05% less than its highest price of $0.0000283620. The occurrences prove the high level of risk, which is typical for meme coins, where emotions and opinions very often outweigh the infrastructure and technology of the coin.

Pepe’s influence goes beyond the market. Among its goals are obtaining the support of the major exchanges, the participants of the community, and the launch of various projects, and aside from these, there is also the Pepe Times newsletter and the group on Discord who need Pepe’s token for entry as attendance records. The community is the most important factor in Pepe’s future, which will be based on education and an online shop with its name. These efforts are intended to build a strong rapport with the community
