About Pepe (PEPE)

What is Pepe (PEPE)?

Pepe (PEPE)—commonly searched as "Pepe coin"—is a meme coin on Ethereum inspired by the Pepe the Frog internet meme. It launched quietly in mid-April 2023 with no presale, no team tokens, and no advance announcement. The creators are anonymous and have never been publicly identified. The token's contract has been permanently locked, which means nobody—including the original creators—can change its rules or create more tokens. The current Pepe coin price is $0.00000427, with a 24-hour trading volume of $230,122,357.

PEPE had no presale, no team allocation, and no venture capital round. The full supply was split two ways at launch: the vast majority (93.1%) went directly into a public trading pool, and the keys controlling that pool were permanently destroyed to prevent a liquidity drain. A smaller reserve (6.9%) sits in a wallet that requires multiple signers to authorize any transfer, earmarked for exchange listings and crosschain access. Buying and selling PEPE doesn't trigger any automatic tax or deduction—there are no fees built into the contract.

Multiple tokens use similar names and Pepe-themed branding. As with any token, always verify the contract address before transacting. If a token doesn't match this address exactly, it isn't PEPE.

PEPE market moves

Powered by MetaMask Market Insights


24h change: -4.16%. From $0.00000433 to $0.00000415.

  • Canary Capital updated its S-1 registration statement with the SEC for a proposed spot ETF that would hold PEPE tokens directly. The amendment on October 2 follows the initial April 2026 filing and lists plans for Cboe BZX listing with BitGo custody. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas viewed the step as a potential indicator that broader crypto market interest is returning. The filing has renewed focus on meme coins and whether regulated products could extend to assets without traditional utility.
  • PEPE trades near $0.00000415 after recent volatility, down about 4 percent in 24 hours but up over 13 percent in the past 30 days. Market capitalization sits near $1.75 billion with daily volumes between $180 million and $260 million. Data providers rank it among the top 60 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Analysts note its established status among thousands of newer meme tokens and consistent trading activity on major exchanges.
  • Community and analyst commentary positions PEPE as leveraged exposure to Ethereum price moves given its liquidity and history. Discussions reference its outperformance relative to ETH during certain rallies and its resilience compared with newer meme coins. On-chain and market data continue to show whale interest and exchange flows at times. This narrative appears alongside the ETF filing news as participants assess longer-term prospects.

24h change: -2.97%. From $0.00000441 to $0.00000428.

  • Canary Capital submitted Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-1 for a spot PEPE ETF. The proposed fund would hold PEPE tokens directly with custody through a bank and use the CoinDesk PEPE index for valuation. This update to the initial April 2026 filing signals continued interest in regulated products for meme coins. It matters as it tests regulatory boundaries for assets driven primarily by community and cultural trends rather than utility.
  • PEPE has held support near $0.0000041 while forming a bearish pennant pattern on shorter timeframes. The token remains below its mid-September highs after a period of strong gains tied to broader meme coin momentum. Derivatives data shows positive funding rates and retail demand. Traders are watching these technical levels closely as they could determine near-term direction for the memecoin.
  • PEPE participated in recent meme coin rallies with notable short liquidations and volume increases in September 2026. On-chain flows have shown large token withdrawals from exchanges in prior months indicating holder accumulation. Community discussions emphasize resilience and potential for further moves. These factors illustrate how liquidity signals and social dynamics continue to influence performance of leading memecoins like PEPE.

24h change: +0.30%. From $0.00000441 to $0.00000442.

  • PEPE has held steady near $0.0000044 after a 3.5 percent rebound. Derivatives data shows futures open interest above $320 million with positive funding rates pointing to buyer interest. The token trades above its 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs and shows a golden cross, keeping a mildly constructive technical setup.
  • The token has moved above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages for the first time since earlier this year. This comes after a roughly 26 percent gain over the past 30 days and with RSI around 58. Analysts note the structural shift while highlighting distance from the all-time high and dependence on broader market conditions.
  • In April 2026 Canary Capital filed an S-1 with the SEC for a spot ETF that would hold PEPE tokens. The filing notes the token has no utility, a fixed supply exceeding 420 trillion, and concentrated ownership. Recent analysis continues to reference the potential regulatory development as a longer-term catalyst for institutional interest.

24h change: -4.50%. From $0.00000439 to $0.00000419.

  • On-chain analytics reported 4.54 trillion PEPE tokens leaving centralized exchanges in a single day during August 2026. This marked the largest single-day net outflow since November 2024. Top 100 non-exchange wallets increased holdings while smart money addresses showed substantial growth in PEPE positions. These flows indicate shifting capital structure toward longer-term holders even as the token trades significantly below its December 2024 peak.
  • Canary Capital submitted an S-1 filing with the SEC in April 2026 for a spot ETF that would hold actual PEPE tokens. The proposed fund highlights PEPE's lack of utility beyond its cultural meme status while noting potential custody of up to 5 percent in ETH for network fees. This filing represents one of the first attempts to bring a pure memecoin into a regulated investment product format. It continues to shape discussions around institutional interest in the asset.
  • PEPE experienced sharp price movements in September 2026, including reported weekly gains near 45 percent before consolidation. Articles highlight technical levels such as resistance near $0.000005 and the role of short liquidations in recent swings. Trading volume surged during these moves alongside broader interest in meme assets. The token's performance remains closely tied to overall market sentiment and Bitcoin price action.

24h change: -1.31%. From $0.00000446 to $0.0000044.

  • Multiple analyses show PEPE surged as much as 45 to 50 percent over one week in September driven by short liquidations exceeding $900 million and alignment with Bitcoin's upward movement. The price reached local highs near $0.0000053 before consolidating in a range around $0.0000043 to $0.0000045. This volatility reflects typical meme coin behavior tied to market sentiment rather than project-specific developments.
  • Recent reporting highlights that top addresses and whales control a substantial portion of PEPE supply, with estimates ranging from 77 to 90 percent in some analyses. This ownership structure contributes to potential volatility since decisions by a limited number of large holders can move price significantly. It remains a key consideration for participants evaluating risk in this long-established meme token.
  • Updated SEC staff FAQs issued in late September clarify factors for determining whether meme coins qualify as investment contracts, emphasizing entertainment and cultural value over profit expectations. This development provides additional context for assets like PEPE. It coincides with ongoing review of a spot PEPE ETF filing by Canary Capital originally submitted earlier in 2026.
