Based Pepe PEPE

What PEPE actually is on-chain

Based Pepe is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0x52b492a33e447cdb854c7fc19f1e57e8bfa1777d. That address, not the ticker PEPE, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself PEPE, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Base, PEPE is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in PEPE itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

6 other assets tracked on this site also use the ticker PEPE: Pepe (Ethereum, 0x6982…1933); PepeCoin on Solana (Solana, 8jzRzn…3NF7); The Original Pepe (Ethereum, 0x4dfa…127c); Pepe on SOL (Solana, B5WTLa…2R6B), and 2 more. The asset on this page is specifically the Base deployment at 0x52b4…777d. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For PEPE the project publishes an active account as @0x52BasedPepe. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where PEPE sits in the market

Based Pepe ranks #2490, in the top of the long tail, just below the band most screeners still cover, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 7 live PEPE order books (Binance, OKX, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX, Upbit…). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #2490 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

PEPE against its all-time high

PEPE is trading within 1027.3% of its all-time high of $4.40e-07 (on 2024-12-15). This is price discovery: there is no overhead supply from earlier buyers and no horizontal resistance with any historical basis, because the asset has never traded here before. Support levels drawn from the chart are the only structure that exists, and momentum readings — an overbought oscillator, an exhausted volume profile — carry more information than any level you could draw above spot. That high was set roughly 2 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

PEPE supply and valuation data

Supply figures for PEPE are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $2.0 million as of 2026-05-12. That sits around the middle of the distribution — roughly half the assets tracked here carry a smaller fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset PEPE is

Based Pepe is a base-layer network, so PEPE is simultaneously the chain's security budget and its unit of account rather than a claim on a business. 1,487 tokens tracked on this site are tagged to its ecosystem. That is the fourth-largest such set here, behind Solana's 3,129. The honest way to value a chain at that scale is as infrastructure rent: demand for PEPE is derived from how much economic activity chooses to settle there, and because large smart-contract platforms compete for the same developers, these assets trade on ecosystem-share narratives far more than on incremental releases. It is secured by proof of stake, so a portion of the supply is bonded to validators at any moment and the float genuinely available to trade is smaller than the circulating figure implies; unstaking queues, not order books, set how fast that can change.

CoinGecko files PEPE under 6 categories, including Meme, Base Ecosystem, Frog-Themed, Base Meme, The Boy’s Club.
