Dissecting The Factors Behind The Meme Coin’s Price Tumble"},"content":{"rendered":"
Pepe (PEPE), once-booming meme coin, has had a difficult ride and dropped<\/a> around 10% during the previous 24 hours. This abrupt decline coincides with a flurry of queries about significant token withdrawals from a big exchange and the general viability of the meme-inspired cryptocurrency.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n PEPE was riding high just a few months ago, attracting crypto aficionados with its quick price swings. But the tides seem to have flipped.<\/span> The latest price dip clouds the future course of the meme coin with questions. Although some might blame the decline on a normal volatility correction in the bitcoin market, fresh on-chain data presents a more interesting picture.<\/p>\n Two days earlier, Etherscan, a blockchain analytics tool, reports that roughly 1 trillion PEPE tokens\u2014worth almost $8 million\u2014were taken out.<\/span> With a high-security Gnosis Safe Proxy wallet enabling the movement, the source of the transfer is nevertheless unknown. This wasn’t an isolated event either. Data reveals another withdrawal of 322.48 billion PEPE tokens, worth around $2.7 million, from the same shadowy address just a day prior.<\/p>\n The timing of these large transactions is most puzzling. They coincided with an unexpected 17% increase in PEPE’s price, which caused the bitcoin community to speculate and experience FUD\u2014that is, anxiety.<\/p>\n Theories range from market manipulation tactics to the possibility of unforeseen regulatory crackdowns, causing jitters among investors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fascinatingly, CoinGecko data shows the PEPE community stays mostly optimistic in spite of the price decline and surrounding uncertainty. The flood of 703 fresh PEPE holders in the past day supports this constant hope even more.<\/span> Prominent bitcoin personalities such as analyst David Gokhshtein, who believes PEPE will remain the main competitor of Dogecoin in the upcoming bull market expected later this year, are fueling the optimistic fires.<\/span> I think you\u2019ll see a crazy battle between $PEPE<\/a> & $DOGE<\/a> this meme season.<\/p>\n \u2014 David Gokhshtein (@davidgokhshtein) May 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nPEPE Price Takes A Tumble<\/strong><\/h2>\n
