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.
