一位匿名交易者透過交易 Pepe (PEPE) memecoin 賺取了超過 4600 萬美元的驚人利潤，這引發了一個問題：GameStop 的傳奇能否點燃 memecoin 流行的復甦？

The savvy trader invested $3,000 in Pepe on April 15th, purchasing 4.9 trillion tokens. Today, those tokens are worth over $56 million, representing a staggering 15,718-fold return.

Memecoins: A Reflection of Disillusionment

Memecoin：幻滅的反映

Hao Yang, Head of Financial Products at Bybit exchange, attributes the recent success of memecoins to a sense of disillusionment among younger generations, similar to the rise of punk rock music.

Bybit交易所金融產品負責人郝陽將memecoin最近的成功歸因於年輕一代的幻滅感，類似於龐克搖滾音樂的興起。

"Memecoins, like punk rock, represent a symptom of disillusioned young investors who feel that the opportunities that were available to their parents are no longer within their reach," Yang told Cointelegraph.

「Memecoin，就像龐克搖滾一樣，代表了幻想破滅的年輕投資者的症狀，他們認為父母提供的機會不再是他們所能獲得的，」Yang 告訴 Cointelegraph。

Additionally, Yang believes that memecoins highlight the absurdity of the current financial system:

此外，楊認為迷因幣凸顯了當前金融體系的荒謬性：

"By creating tokens out of thin air and inflating them to billion-dollar valuations, these creators are demonstrating the absurdity of our fiat system."

“通過憑空創造代幣並將其估值推高至數十億美元，這些創造者正在證明我們的法定係統是荒謬的。”

GameStop's Influence on Memecoins

GameStop 對 Memecoin 的影響

Pepe's recent rally may be linked to the renewed interest in GameStop stock (GME). On May 13th, GME shares began rising following the unexpected return to social media of Keith Gill, known for sparking the 2021 GameStop short squeeze.

佩佩最近的上漲可能與人們對 GameStop 股票（GME）重新產生興趣有關。 5 月 13 日，因引發 2021 年 GameStop 逼空而聞名的基思吉爾 (Keith Gill) 意外重返社交媒體後，GME 股價開始上漲。

Pepe reached a new all-time high of over $0.000010 on May 13th, the day after Gill's return. GameStop shares surged by over 111% in the 24 hours following his reappearance.

5 月 13 日，吉爾回歸後的第二天，佩佩創下了超過 0.000010 美元的歷史新高。在他重新出現後的 24 小時內，GameStop 的股價飆升了 111% 以上。

Xiaohan Zhu, CEO of Meter, believes that the GameStop rally is the primary driver behind Pepe's price increase:

Meter執行長朱曉涵認為，GameStop的漲勢是Pepe漲價的主要動力：

"The GME saga may have contributed to PEPE's momentum. However, I attribute the recent market decline in crypto primarily to profit-taking and the listing of several large-scale projects on exchanges, absorbing much of the market's liquidity."

「GME 的傳奇故事可能為PEPE 的勢頭做出了貢獻。然而，我將近期加密貨幣市場的下跌主要歸因於獲利回吐以及多個大型項目在交易所上市，吸收了市場的大部分流動性。

Memecoin Run on the Horizon?

Memecoin 即將出現？

While predicting a full-blown memecoin rally is challenging, some traders speculate that profits from GameStop could flow into altcoins, as seen during the 2021 bull run. Crypto analyst CryptoAmsterdam's May 14th report suggests that the 2021 altcoin surge began shortly after the GameStop rally.

雖然預測 memecoin 全面反彈具有挑戰性，但一些交易員推測 GameStop 的利潤可能會流入山寨幣，正如 2021 年牛市期間所見。加密貨幣分析師 CryptoAmsterdam 5 月 14 日的報告表明，2021 年山寨幣的飆升是在 GameStop 反彈後不久開始的。

Pepe's Unique Appeal

佩佩的獨特魅力

Not all memecoins will benefit from the GameStop saga, but Pepe appears well-positioned for further gains due to its relatable narrative for retail investors, according to Aleksandra Artamonovskaja, Head of Art at TriliTech, Tezos:

Tezos TriliTech 藝術主管 Aleksandra Artamonovskaja 表示，並非所有 memecoin 都會從 GameStop 傳奇中受益，但由於其與散戶投資者相關的敘述，Pepe 似乎處於進一步上漲的有利位置：

"Beyond being a well-known internet meme, Pepe represents a culture of its own and symbolizes resistance against the establishment, freedom, and hope - a narrative that resonates with the GameStop saga."

「佩佩不僅是一個眾所周知的網路迷因，還代表了一種自己的文化，象徵著對體制、自由和希望的抵抗——這一敘事與 GameStop 的傳奇故事產生了共鳴。”
