Pepe (PEPE), launched on April 2023, is a deflationary meme coin on the Ethereum blockchain, inspired by the Pepe the Frog meme. It aims to stand out as a meme-based digital asset with no taxes and no utility, emphasizing its unique connection to the Pepe the Frog character. After an attack at a campaign rally, Bitcoin and Trump-inspired meme coins like TREMP, TRUMP, and MAGA spiked significantly, also boosting other meme coins such as PEPE. Bitcoin hit a weekly high of $59,796. The surge in crypto prices is linked to Trump's pro-crypto stance and expectations that his potential election win could lead to favorable crypto regulations.
