Pepe Coin (PEPE) is a cryptocurrency that launched in April 2023, rooted in the popular "Pepe the Frog" meme and which is positioning itself as "the most memeable memecoin in existence".

The "Pepe the Frog" character originated from the comic series "Boys Club" by artist Matt Furie, first appearing in 2005. Over time, the character became a widely recognized and versatile meme, used across various internet communities for different purposes. However, the meme also faced controversy when it was co-opted by certain online groups for political and offensive content, leading to Furie’s efforts to reclaim its original, positive intent.

PEPE Coin capitalizes on this meme’s cultural significance, positioning itself within the meme coin niche alongside others like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. The token features a supply of 420.69 trillion coins, playing into internet humor and making it accessible to a broad range of retail investors. The appeal of PEPE Coin lies in its meme status, with no intrinsic utility beyond speculative trading. Its rapid rise in popularity was driven by social media, listings on major exchanges, and the broader meme coin trend.
