🧭 Final Thoughts
Pepe coin employs both one-time major burns and ongoing per-transaction burns to shrink circulating supply and theoretically boost scarcity. The largest, most impactful burn was the April 2023 event. Additional burns have occurred and likely continue, but any claims of massive $1 billion burns post-January 2025 haven’t been verified publicly.
