Fast facts
- PEPE is an Ethereum-native ERC-20 memecoin based on Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that became a popular internet meme also known as the “sad frog meme.”
- Memecoins are cryptocurrencies based on internet memes that became popular with retail investors after tokens like Dogecoin and the Shiba Inu token grew to multi-billion dollar assets.
- Growing demand for PEPE could lead to higher gas fees on the Ethereum network. Gas fees spiked to a one-month high of 81.95 Gwei on Wednesday, a day before PEPE reached its all-time high of US$0.0000004036, according to CoinMarketCap.
- PEPE announced its first token airdrop on Monday, to celebrate reaching 50,000 holders.
- “$PEPE” has been trending on Twitter since last week and is currently the fifth most trended crypto on DEXTools.
