Feels good, man
According to CoinMarketCap, Pepe coin, which launched in 2023, is different from Pepe Cash (PEPECASH):
«Pepe is not to be confused with Pepe Cash, another meme coin that was launched in 2016 and is used to buy and sell rare Pepe artworks on the Counterparty platform.»
The anonymous creators of Pepe coin (PEPE) launched the meme coin without a pre-sale or any marketing efforts. The coin’s deflationary supply and fungible token made it swell into a billion-dollar bullfrog within days, and within 20 days, its price caused the total market cap to top $1.6 billion.
Currently, Pepe remains capitalized at an excess of $700 million, making it an impressively fast market capitalization.
A Mighty Croak: PEPE Coin Economics at a Glance
Pepe coin offers more than just a smart logo and name. Its Ethereum smart contract has some clever economics built in, such as a deflationary supply with a limit above 420 trillion tokens, a burn mechanism that burns LP tokens from liquidity providers and voids contracts, and a «no taxes» policy to execute transaction orders at very low fees. Additionally, PEPE chain redistributions favor long-term stakers to stave off inflation.
The coin’s debut on crypto platforms was as fair as possible, with 93.1% of the tokens allocated to liquidity for sales, and 6.9% were left in a multi-sig wallet for strategic deployment. The first phase of the project, «Meme,» was an outstanding success, and it became a peer of DOGE, SHIB, and other popular NFT collections like BAYC within under a month.
With these incentivizing economics, short-sellers of PEPE coin will find it challenging to keep their shorts covered.
Meme Coin Power
Pepe is an Internet legend, with a thriving community that dates back many years. Its launch was guaranteed to have success to appeal to and serve a vast, anonymous market of veteran crypto investors with deep pockets full of juicy ROI from other meme coin investments.
Whale investors showed mixed support for Pepe coin, with some whales snapping up $10M worth of tokens, stocking up 7% of the PEPE supply a week after its launch. They controlled around one-third of its liquidity on markets at the beginning of the rally. Around 30 large and active traders bought a million dollars worth of the coin at the start of its rally, and some whale addresses took profits last week. However, three crypto whales were spotted buying $4 million worth of PEPE by Lookonchain. Tesla and SpaceX CEO and Dogecoin bull Elon Musk also boosted PEPE Saturday with a meme of Pepe «Explaining constitutional amendments.»
