$PEPE $XRP In the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies, two assets have recently captured the attention of investors and enthusiasts: PEPE and XRP.
PEPE: The Memecoin Inspired by an Iconic Meme
PEPE is a deflationary cryptocurrency launched on Ethereum as a tribute to the popular internet meme “Pepe the Frog.” This memecoin seeks to differentiate itself in a market dominated by dog-themed tokens by offering a frog-themed alternative. Additionally, PEPE has introduced platforms such as PepeSwap, a decentralized exchange that allows users to provide liquidity, stake, and swap tokens, encouraging participation in the DeFi ecosystem.
XRP: Powering Global Payments
XRP is Ripple Labs’ native cryptocurrency, designed to facilitate fast, low-cost global payments. Unlike many cryptocurrencies, XRP is not mined; Instead, 100 billion tokens were created at its inception, of which 80 billion were awarded to Ripple Labs. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that allows for transaction settlement in 3 to 5 seconds, offering energy efficiency and low transaction costs.
Recent Market Trends
In early 2025, XRP has shown a remarkable increase in its value. On January 2, its price increased by 11% to reach $2.40, accumulating a rise of almost 300% in 2024. This growth is attributed to expectations of more favorable regulations under the administration of President-elect Donald Trump and the possible resolution of legal disputes between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
On the other hand, PEPE has seen significant appreciation since its launch. Although its current price is $0.000022 per token, it has seen an increase of over 1600% in the past year, reflecting the growing interest in memecoins and their potential in the market.
