Pepe (PEPE)

Pepe (PEPE) is a memecoin launched on Ethereum in April 2023, built around the Pepe the Frog character created by cartoonist Matt Furie in his 2005 comic "Boy's Club". Pepe the Frog had spent years as one of the internet's most adaptable memes, appearing in countless contexts across forums and social media. The crypto token PEPE has no affiliation with Matt Furie and was deployed by anonymous creators. There is no stated roadmap, no product, no utility and no publicly identified team. The token launched with zero marketing budget, relying entirely on organic social-media spread.

What followed was one of the fastest rises to large-cap status in memecoin history. Within weeks of launch, PEPE reached a market capitalisation in the billions of dollars, driven by retail trading attention amplified on Twitter and Telegram. It traded on major centralised exchanges including Binance and Coinbase within months. The pattern it followed was well-established by its predecessors: Dogecoin (launched 2013) and Shiba Inu (launched 2020) had demonstrated that a meme with cultural recognition and easy accessibility could generate enormous short-term trading volume, creating a reflexive loop where rising prices generate media coverage that attracts more buyers. That loop reverses just as easily.

PEPE has a fixed total supply of 420,690,000,000,000 tokens (approximately 420.69 trillion), an astronomically large number that keeps the price per token at a fraction of a cent. Roughly 6.9% of supply was allocated to a multi-signature wallet labelled as an exchange reserve at launch. PEPE carries no intrinsic value beyond sentiment. Matt Furie, the original creator of Pepe the Frog, has taken legal action against some third-party commercial uses of the character, though the PEPE crypto token exists in a different regulatory and legal context. Memecoins routinely lose 90% or more of their value after peak attention passes, and many lose substantially all of it. As with all memecoins, PEPE is highly speculative and can lose most or all of its value rapidly.

PEPE ist ein ERC-20-Token, der in jeder Ethereum-kompatiblen Self-Custody-Wallet wie MetaMask aufbewahrt wird. Eine Hardware-Wallet verringert das Risiko eines Fernzugriffsdiebstahls bei allen Ethereum-Token.
