šĀ Pepe Coin Frenzy: Meme Culture Meets Crypto Mania
In April 2023, a meme-inspired token namedĀ Pepe (PEPE)Ā exploded onto the scene ā rising from obscurity to aĀ $1+ billion market capĀ in under three weeks, without a team, roadmap, or utility.
šø Inspired by the internetās infamous Pepe the Frog meme, the coin launched on Ethereum and was quickly embraced by crypto Twitter, meme communities, and degen traders.
š Despite no marketing or backing, PEPE rode a wave of pure speculation, gaining listings on major exchanges like Binance and KuCoin.
š£ The price eventually crashed ā as expected ā but the frenzy reignited debates aboutĀ speculation culture,Ā meme power, and how the crypto space still struggles withĀ irrational exuberance.
š§ The Pepe coin saga is now remembered as a flashpoint for bothĀ the absurdity and brilliance of decentralized markets.
