🐸 Why You Should Not Invest in PEPE in 2025

$PEPE had its moment. But in 2025, there’s no logical reason to still chase this frog. It’s not going to $1. It’s not even making it to $0.001. The market has moved on to smarter, utility-driven meme coins. PEPE brings nothing new to the table except recycled hype.

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, recently called meme coins “digital slop” and said they have no intrinsic value. He acknowledged they generate volume, but made it clear he doesn’t see them as having any real long-term purpose.

Raoul Pal, macro investor and founder of Real Vision, warned that meme coins are “speculation layered on top of speculation” and that most of them, including PEPE, “offer no structural value to the ecosystem.”

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has said that meme coins can have cultural value but admits that most of them, especially the likes of PEPE, are “purely driven by temporary hype” and shouldn’t be treated like long-term investments.

Even Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, said in an interview that meme coins like PEPE are “distractions” and “don’t contribute anything meaningful to the growth of the crypto economy.”

When professionals, builders, and long-term investors all speak this clearly, you don’t need hopium — you need common sense. PEPE already pumped. Now it’s a token of the past, while better coins with actual purpose are leading the future.

If you’re still betting on a frog in 2025, you’re betting against where crypto is actually heading.
