PEPE coin is trending today in the memecoin market With a stunning 30% price surge in just 24 hours. PEPE has overtaken Dogecoin in daily trading volume, becoming the most traded memecoin and the sixth most traded cryptocurrency globally (excluding stablecoins).

Why is PEPE Surging?

The pepe coin price surge is fueled by a combination of whale accumulation, technical breakouts, and increasing open interest in the derivatives market.

Whale Accumulation

According to lookonchain Data, over the past week, a prominent crypto whale has been actively buying PEPE on the open market. On April 30, this whale—who holds $147 million in crypto assets—withdrew 1.5 trillion PEPE from Binance, and earlier today, they added another 500 billion PEPE tokens, bringing their total holdings to 2 trillion tokens. This accumulation, totaling roughly $4.36 million, signals strong long-term confidence in PEPE.
