Pepe memecoin, one of the leading memecoins by market capitalization, has surged by 96.9% in the past 7 days following its listing by Coinbase.

Pepe memecoin has been up there with other Top memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu in performance and has established itself as one of the leading memecoins. Pepe memecoin is inspired by a popular internet meme from the early 2000s Pepe the Frog and has been driven to success mostly on the back of its active community.

Pepe, like other memecoins, benefitted from the Donald Trump-induced bull run which hit the crypto market on the election week and days after. However, the memecoin has also benefitted from its recent Coinbase listing and endorsement. A combination of both factors led to the memecoin surging by 96.9% in the last 7 days and a whopping 134% in the last 14 days. Pepe at the time of the report is exchanging hands for $0.00002181 rising by 0.1% in the last 24 hours.

The surge experienced by Pepe memecoin pushed its market cap to $9 billion making it the 19th largest crypto asset by market capitalization per Coingecko Data.
