WEST PALM BEACH, FL — May 8, 2025 — Meme coin Purple Pepe (PURPE) continues its eventful year with a series of significant developments—securing new exchange listings and completing one of the first-ever U.S. real estate transactions to accept a memecoin as payment.
Launched less than a year ago, PURPE began as a meme-driven experiment and has quickly evolved into one of the most resilient, community-led projects in the crypto space. The token is now trading on Poloniex, LBank, BitMart, Coinstash, Biconomy, and Slingshot, positioning it for potential Tier-1 exchange listings as its holder base climbs past 45,000 and its all-time high market cap approaches $140 million.
In a groundbreaking move for real-world utility, Missouri-based real estate developer Daniel Westermier is now accepting PURPE as payment for a commercial property in Sedalia, MO (65301). This milestone places PURPE among the first memecoins to be used in U.S. property transactions. Interested buyers can contact Mr. Westermier directly at [email protected].
“Accepting PURPE for real estate isn’t a gimmick—it’s the beginning of a new economic layer where community coins have real-world value,” added Daniel Westermier, the first U.S. property developer to list a commercial building for memecoin payment.
The project’s momentum is further fueled by a sizable grassroots following, including the WallStreetBets Facebook community, which boasts over 550,000 members—one of the most active trading groups on the platform.
“What started as a meme became a mission. PURPE isn’t just riding the hype cycle—we’re building something with staying power,” said Christopher Berrios, founder of the WallStreetBets Facebook group and a key force behind the token’s resurgence.
Looking ahead, PURPE is gearing up for a full-scale community presence at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, taking place May 27–29.
