Can $PEPE hit 1 USDT? Pepe coin (PEPE) is a deflationary meme coin launched on the Ethereum blockchain as a tribute to the "Pepe the Frog" internet meme.[1][2][3] Its primary purpose is to be a community-driven and entertaining digital asset for speculative trading, capitalizing on the popularity of meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.[1][4][5]
The founder of Pepe Coin is Zachary Testa, a landscape photographer.[6][7] The project is not officially tied to any country and is driven by its community.[3] Pepe Coin does not solve any specific real-world problem and is upfront about its lack of utility, which is part of its appeal to some investors.[1][5]
Ongoing developments are community-focused and include efforts to get the token trending on social media and listings on various cryptocurrency exchanges.[1] The project's initial roadmap included a "meme takeover."[1] The future potential of Pepe Coin is highly speculative and depends on its continued popularity and community engagement.
Price predictions for Pepe Coin vary significantly. For instance, CoinCodex projects a potential increase to $0.00004562 by 2030.[8] Binance's user consensus forecasts a price of around $0.000016 in the next five years.[9] Forbes, citing Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus, suggested PEPE could reach around $0.00005 by the end of 2025.[10]
Pepe coin's chart is characterized by high volatility.[11] Technical analysis from August 2025 indicated that the coin had broken a rising trend channel, suggesting a potential slowdown or more horizontal price movement, with support and resistance levels identified.[12] TradingView's technical analysis shows a "strong buy" signal based on its ratings, with the price having risen over the last week and month.[13] However, some analysts also point to the risk of significant downward pressure.[10] The price action is heavily influenced by community sentiment and broader market trends.
