Pepe the Frog was originally created in 2005 by artist Matt Furie in the comic Boy’s Club. While he started as a laid-back cartoon frog, the internet transformed Pepe into an icon of online culture – emotional, sarcastic, viral, and deeply relatable.
Crypto communities embraced him as a symbol of the movement – memes, rebellion, and humor all rolled into one. Terms like "HODL", "Buy the Dip", and tokens like $PEPE have made him a beloved figure in the crypto space.
Pepe isn’t just a meme – he’s a digital revolution mascot representing community, decentralization, and a touch of chaos.
