Investors such as Adam Wren, a defense industry risk analyst, are wagering on these tokens despite the risk. Wren invested $2,250 in two billion Pepe tokens, betting that the Pepe meme’s association with Donald Trump would boost its popularity. His investment is now valued at nearly $20,000.

Crypto Rally Triggers Memecoin Frenzy
