The meme token has decreased by 56.97% since its all-time high of $0.00000431 was reached on May 5. Pepe, the 60th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is one of the trendiest altcoins as of late.

Prior to the price of PEPE skyrocketing, Lookonchain observed several crypto whales snatching up the coin and profiting tremendously.
A recent observance has revealed that a trader made a significant profit from investing in PEPE and MEME coins. The trader bought four trillion PEPE tokens for 2.1 ETH ($4,410) just six hours after the token was listed and later sold 3.27 trillion of those tokens for $906,000 while holding onto 700 billion PEPE tokens valued at $808,000. The trader utilized a strategy of selling part of their holdings after each price surge in PEPE rather than selling all at once.
