A highlight for Pepe this month was its listing on Binance.US on December 4—a move reflecting the growing interest of major exchanges in the memecoin market. Beyond Binance, Coinbase also expanded its trading catalog to include memecoins such as Moodeng (MOODENG), Mog (MOG), and Dogwifhat (DOG).

Following its listing, Pepe experienced a remarkable surge, even surpassing the market cap of the UNI (Uniswap) token on December 7. From a market cap of around $591 million at the beginning of the year, Pepe skyrocketed to over $11 billion—a staggering 18x increase.

The success stories of Pepe investors continue to astonish. One notable case is a trader who turned $3,000 into $46 million in just one month during April 2023, thanks to the token’s meteoric rise of over 15,000x. More recently, another investor made a massive profit, converting $27 worth of tokens acquired over 600 days ago into $52 million—a return of 1,900,000x, according to data from Lookonchain.
