PEPE Coin Breaks Records

PEPE, a renowned Frog memecoin, has achieved a new all-time high after a remarkable 75% surge following its listings on Coinbase, Robinhood, and Upbit.

Whale Transactions

Data from Coinglass, a crypto futures platform, indicates that PEPE's open interest has increased by 63% to $316 million. Additionally, a PEPE whale reportedly sold 500 billion coins, netting a profit of approximately $45 million. This sale, along with others by PEPE investors and whales, appears to be an attempt to secure profits.

Smart Money at Work

On November 14, Lookonchain reported that a whale profited $11.8 million by selling 500 billion PEPE coins. From May 5 to September 10, 2023, the whale acquired 2.01 trillion PEPE tokens for an initial investment of 1,170 ETH (worth $2.12 million).

Whale Holdings

Despite recent Coinbase deposits, the whale remains in possession of 1.48 trillion Pepe coins, valued at $33.2 million. This suggests a 20x return on the whale's initial investment, with a total profit of $45 million.
