'Pepe the Frog' Memecoins Rocket as Crypto Twitter Moves Over Doge Obsession

Crypto Twitter traders are moving away from Shiba Inu tokens to those branded after the internet meme Pepe the Frog, with a Pepe token (PEPE) launching Sunday and running over 21,000% in the past three days, reaching a market capitalization of as high as $33 million. However, the tokens have no connection to the actual Pepe the Frog meme or its creator. Crypto Twitter has a history of jumping on meme coins, such as dogecoin and shiba inu, but most do not last beyond a few weeks. Some professional investors see meme coins and their narratives as a part of the crypto ecosystem, and the upside of trading can be huge, though it is a risky way to seek an excessive return.
