  • Red hot memecoin bonanza continues as the sector grows 10.5% in one day.
  • Answering to demand, Coinbase lists Pepe Token, sparking a trading frenzy.
  • The PEPE price rally kicks off similarly to Shiba Inuโ€™s post-Coinbase listing rally.

Coinbase, the most popular American crypto exchange, broke its year-long silence on PEPE’s listing on the platform. With the largest meme coin asset, Dogecoin (DOGE), leading the pack, the bullish momentum has started rotating into other blue-chip meme coins, including Shiba Inu (SHIB).

Coinbaseโ€™s announcement at 7 PM on November 13, 2024, contained a laconic answer to the frequently asked question โ€œWen?โ€ raised by PEPEโ€™s diverse community ever since Coinbase turned down the token for alleged ties to extreme far-right movements.

โ€œYouโ€™ve Long Wanted The Frogโ€

The internet icon is now warmly welcomed by Coinbaseโ€™s staff, as PEPE reserved its spot among the big boys in the altcoin markets. โ€œYou’ve long wanted the frog,โ€ acknowledged Coinbaseโ€™s CFO Paul Grewal, thanking the most popular on-chain frogโ€™s loyal community for their patience.

โ€œNow. PEPE is available for trading,โ€ asserts the message, sparking a meme coin trading frenzy, evident in PEPE now scorching past $26.6 billion in 24-hour Spot trades. With demand definitely on Pepeโ€™s side in the derivatives markets, crypto analysts are now comparing PEPE’s price since Coinbaseโ€™s listing to Shiba Inuโ€™s Coinbase-ignited rally. 

While the exploding PEPE price rally brings us to a new all-time high of $0.00002457 following Coinbaseโ€™s listing news, market watchers are examining the northward potential of SHIB’s meteoric rise after its Coinbase listing.

SHIB struck a triple-figure run, growing 864% in 23 days. Assuming a similar market reaction, crypto connoisseurs such as BecauseBitcoin founder Max expect the PEPE price to settle in three-zero territory.

As of publication time, PEPE has jumped above $0.000022, backtracking 12% from its all-time high scored 12 hours ago. Topping Dogecoinโ€™s $24.7 billion in 24-hour trading volume, Pepeโ€™s enormous demand adds a strong argument for the altcoinโ€™s sustainability thesis.

On the Flipside

  • Large PEPE Token holders have already started booking profits.
  • One whale cashed out 526B for $10.03M, locking in a $5M profit.
  • Another PEPE whale deposited 500B to Coinbase, likely to sell.

Why This Matters

Pepe Token entered cryptoโ€™s TOP 20 by global market capitalization. The internet culture-based meme coin also remains the best-performing major altcoin, yielding 1,725% returns yearly.
