  • PEPE is experiencing a massive rally.
  • The memecoin is one of the best-performing assets in the industry.
  • One whale bought an enormous amount of PEPE.

The crypto market had been bleeding for a few weeks before the incredible rally that started on Wednesday. 

Virtually all cryptocurrencies pumped to highs not seen since April, including the memecoin PEPE, which saw staggering inflows after a whale bought millions of tokens.

PEPE’s Dizzying Pump

PEPE is back on the most-watched cryptocurrency list. The frog-themed memecoin that stole the show a few months ago pumped massively during the current crypto bear market rally.

According to data from CoinGecko, PEPE is up by 55% in the past 24 hours. It’s currently trading at $0.00000163.

PEPE’s growth over the past week is even more staggering. PEPE is trading 90% higher than it did seven days ago. While virtually all cryptocurrencies have rallied, PEPE is the best-performing one in the top 100 list.

This might be because a whale purchased millions worth of PEPE.

Whale Purchases Millions Worth of Frog Tokens

PEPE is one of the most loved memecoins – and assets in general – by traders.

The current incredible PEPE growth can be attributed to a whale that bought millions worth of PEPE in the middle of the rally.

According to data from Lookonchian, a whale bought $4.7 million worth of PEPE across several trades. The whale made $11.47M on one trade. 

However, the same whale lost $741,000 on another PEPE trade they made a few weeks ago.

PEPE is currently the 63rd-largest cryptocurrency in the industry. It has a market cap of $683 million.

On the Flipside

  • As with all memecoins, the current rally will most likely be short-lived, especially knowing that interest rates worldwide are still high.

Why This Matters

The rally proved that people could make money on memecoins like PEPE, even in a bear market.
