Pepe PEPE

What PEPE actually is on-chain

Pepe is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933. 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 etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, PEPE is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in PEPE itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM 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: Based Pepe (Base, 0x52b4…777d); 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 Ethereum deployment at 0x6982…1933. 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 @pepecoineth. 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

At #52, Pepe sits in the bottom of the large-cap band, adjacent to the mid-cap cut-off. Down here the large-cap label is doing less work than it appears to. PEPE is one revision away from the mid-cap band, and the practical consequences of crossing that line — index eligibility, market-maker commitments, how much size the book absorbs — change well before the ranking does.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 7 live PEPE order books (Binance, OKX, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX, Upbit…). That is coverage in line with a #52 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. 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 81.9% off its $0.00002803 high (on 2024-12-09). At this depth the arithmetic turns against a recovery narrative: getting back to the record takes 5.52x, not a rebound. The high is better read as the marker of a completed cycle than as a target — most of the holders above spot are underwater by enough that their behaviour on the way up is supply, not demand. That high was set roughly 2 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

PEPE across its historical range

PEPE has traded across a 467x range, between $6.00e-08 and $0.00002803. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

Spot is about 84.7x above the all-time low of $6.00e-08 (on 2023-04-17) — a substantial recovery, but one where a meaningful share of the holder base still has a cost basis within the visible range rather than far beneath it.

PEPE supply structure

PEPE has a hard cap of 420.69 trillion PEPE, with 420.69 trillion of it already in circulation — 100.0% issued. Issuance is effectively finished, so there is no scheduled dilution: every future change in market value has to come from price, not from supply mechanics. That removes one of the two variables you would otherwise have to track.

What kind of asset PEPE is

Pepe is a meme asset. There is no cash flow, no fee capture and no fundamental anchor to value it against, which is a description rather than a criticism — it means the price is set entirely by attention and reflexive flow. In practice, volume moves first and price follows, so a volume spike is the leading signal for this class while an oscillator reading is a lagging one. Moves are larger, faster and mean-revert harder than in assets with a revenue story.

CoinGecko files PEPE under 10 categories, including BNB Chain Ecosystem, Avalanche Ecosystem, Meme, Arbitrum Ecosystem, Ethereum Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Avalanche (256 tracked tokens), Arbitrum (391 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading. Worth flagging from the metadata: PEPE is tracked in the GMCI Meme Index.
