ETH ETF Approvals Ignite a Pepe Price Frenzy
Pepe has emerged as a leading Ethereum beta play, outperforming the L1 coin this week. This surge follows the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of Ethereum spot ETFs on May 23.
While many large-cap cryptos are declining today, ETH has benefited from the SEC's green light. It currently trades at $3.9K, up 4.5% on the day.
Pepe, one of Ethereum's most popular meme coins, has jumped 12% today, recently setting a new all-time high (ATH).
It trades at $0.0000166, holding a $6.9 billion market cap and a $2.5 billion 24-hour trading volume, up 18% today.
Pepe's 75% weekly gain makes it the second-best performing top 100 cryptocurrency by market cap, trailing only Ethereum Name Service's 79% rise.
Given its relative strength, it's no surprise that Pepe has dominated social media discussions this week.
Jameson noted that Pepe is outperforming other leading cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin, Ondo, Floki, Render, and Bitcoin.

Sealana: The Next Meme Coin to Explode?
As Pepe paves the way, many lower market cap meme coins could experience significant growth. One promising project is the newly launched Sealana. Leading traders are rallying behind it as its presale total raise approaches $3 million.
Next Meme Coin to Explode: Analysts Back Sealana For 100X Gains After Its IEO
While Ethereum's ETF narrative has bolstered Pepe and other Ethereum ecosystem tokens, the market anticipates that a Solana ETF could be next, benefiting its ecosystem meme coins like Sealana.
However, Sealana's unique backstory and social media presence set it apart.
As per its website, Sealana is a seal who trades meme coins from his mom's basement, living off canned tuna and chips with hopes of making life-changing gains and buying a new Lambo.
Meanwhile, Sealana's X account does not shy away from controversy, littered with witty references to ex-U.S. President Donald Trump.

Its South Park-esque feel has cultivated a loyal community of Solana degens.
Market commentators are bullish, with Crypto Boy speculating that the project "could give you 100x profit."
However, the Sealana presale has no predetermined hard cap, so potential investors should act fast to avoid missing out.
