PEPE 1-hour chart / Source: TradingViewPepe (PEPE) surpasses Dogecoin (DOGE) in trading volume
Meanwhile, Pepe (PEPE) has surpassed Dogecoin (DOGE) in trading volume. Thus, it marked an important milestone for the controversial cryptocurrency. Pepe’s 24-hour trading volume reached $434 million compared to Dogecoin’s $312 million, according to data from CoinGecko. Launched earlier this year, Pepe quickly gained traction among traders thanks to its association with popular internet meme character Pepe the Frog.
Similar to other meme-coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, Pepe lacks an obvious purpose. That is, it is primarily accepted as a tool for speculation. This raises questions about the legitimacy of the project. It also leads to accusations that it is a scam.
Despite these concerns, Pepe’s roadmap has ambitious goals focused on growth, community engagement and broadening its reach. Meanwhile, the bizarre project has reached significant milestones. Thus, it aims to overthrow other popular meme-based cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. These include reaching more than 100,000 holders.
