- With PEPE currently trading at $0.00000120, an 8.4% jump from the previous 24 hours, the whale’s meme coin stash is valued at approximately $968,000.
- Ever since PEPE hit its all-time high of $0.0000044 on May 5, the coin has rarely gone above the $0.000002 level, but data from CoinGecko shows that its trading volume has increased significantly in the last three days, rising from $53 million on August 7 to $132.1 million on August 9.
- It reflects the growing interest in the meme coin as bulls troop back into the market.
