Crypto Twitter\u2019s favorite new meme coin Pepecoin (PEPE) has hit another milestone. With an impressive rally over the last 24 hours, the coin crossed the $1 billion market cap mark and has now solidified its position as a top 100 cryptocurrency. But after rallying over 20,000x since its launch three weeks ago, what could be driving this fresh rally for the meme coin?<\/p>\n

Gemini Listing Rumors Spurs New Growth<\/h2>\n

On Thursday, Tyler Winklevoss, one of the co-founders of the Gemini exchange, tweeted<\/a> a frog emoji that spurred listing rumors in the PEPE community. The tweet which carried only the single emoji was followed up by another tweet<\/a> with the emoji but this time with the words \u201csounds rare\u201d added to it.<\/p>\n

Following the tweets, rumors quickly spread that the exchange may be planning to list the meme coin which has been pulling in significant volume since its launch. The rumors were further fueled by the PEPE team moving its treasury holdings to a multi-sig wallet.<\/p>\n

The reason for this is that larger exchanges oftentimes require team treasury funds to be secured before they are listed. So speculations rose quickly about a possible listing and the Winklevoss tweet has the community convinced that the Gemini listing is coming next.<\/p>\n
