The cryptocurrency industry was previously filled with dog-themed meme coins. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) emerged as a Dogecoin (DOGE) killer, a few others wanted in on the canine party. Amidst this, PEPE made its debut with a bang. The frog-themed meme coin stood out for a lot of reasons. One among them is its massive price change right after its launch. The asset has even continued this uptrend throughout its time in the market.

Over the past 24 hours, PEPE recorded a rise of 1.21%. This was a shocker as most assets in the market were on a downtrend. At the time of writing, the meme coin was trading at $0.000008537. This was achieved after the asset managed to rise by nearly 12% throughout the past seven days. The majority of the market registered downfalls during the month of March. PEPE, on the other hand, surged by 8.74%.

A Look Back Into The Meme Coin’s History

PEPE made its debut about two years ago, in mid-April 2023. During its launch, the asset was priced at around $0.00000005685. A small investment of $500 would bring in 8,793,617,021 PEPE. Taking into consideration the asset’s current price, this dainty investment would turn into $75,092. This further marks a staggering 14,918.4% return on its initial investment.

In addition, the meme coin hit an all-time high of $0.00002825 in the final month of 2024. PEPE is currently trading 69% below this peak. The same $500 withdrawn during December of 2024 would have brought in gains up to $246,682.
