PEPE maxis love a good meme. But the one they keep repeating?
“PEPE supply will shrink with time.”
“Burns are coming.”
“This frog’s going to $0.01.” 🐸🚀
Here’s the thing: that punchline doesn’t land. Let’s break it down—with actual numbers
Let’s Look at the Numbers
Total supply of PEPE: 420.69 trillion
Circulating supply: ~420.69 trillion
Burns: Currently negligible. There’s no large-scale, protocol-enforced burn happening.
Even if someone starts a burn campaign:
Let’s say we remove 1 trillion PEPE per year (which is a stretch).
That’s just 0.24% of the total supply annually.
Burning half the supply (210 trillion) at that pace? That takes 210 years.
If you’re dreaming of a 90% supply cut (which would still leave 42T), you're talking centuries—not cycles.
No Burn Mechanism, No Engine
PEPE has no built-in deflationary system, there are rumors but nothing solid
No utility fees tied to a burn
No protocol-level logic reducing supply per transaction
And no foundation actively engineering tokenomic changes
What you do have: hype, speculation, and the hope that someone else will buy higher.
The $0.01 Delusion
Let’s do the math.
$0.01 × 420 trillion = $4.2 trillion market cap
→ That’s more than the entire crypto market combined today
→ It’s more than Apple or Microsoft, and almost 2× Bitcoin’s market cap
Do you honestly think PEPE—a meme with no utility, no protocol burns, and 420T tokens—will be worth more than every financial system in crypto?
Burns Aren’t a Plan. They’re a Distraction.
Burns feel good. They give hope. But unless they’re:
Systematic
Scalable
Tied to real demand
…they’re just PR moves, not economic levers.
Final Thought
If you think PEPE’s going to $0.01 because of future burns, you’re not investing—you’re cosplaying as someone who understands math.
Respect the meme.
Enjoy the ride.
But don’t lose your shirt on the punchline.
