PEPE Coin’s Price On The Cusp Of Massive Drop, Here’s Why

Crypto News: The frog-themed memecoin PEPE has been on a roller-coaster ride this year as it has shown both unpredictable highs & lows. After reaching a mammoth $2 billion market cap within a span of few days, the cryptocurrency has been on a downward trajectory lately. Things could turn even murkier, as recent data shows a tsunami of PEPE tokens being deposited in crypto exchanges which is usually considered as a bearish sign of brewing sell pressure.
33 Trillion PEPE Sent To Exchanges
Recent reports indicate that an unanticipated wave of the meme coin PEPE has hit numerous cryptocurrency exchanges within the past twenty-four hours. The data first reported by Scope Protocol notes that these trading platforms have been saturated with a stunning 33 trillion tokens of PEPE, which is valued at approximately $46.37 million.

This flurry of deposits has resulted in a net gain of $22.94 million for the exchanges, as it originates from a staggering 1,176 unique wallet addresses and not from a single crypto whale.

PEPE Coin Price Action
The enormous influx of PEPE into exchanges may be an indication of an imminent large-scale sell-off, which may have the potential to bring about a drastic decline in the coin’s value. The value of the popular memecoin has been steadily decreasing over the past few days as it has shed nearly 30% of its value overnight, following the Coinbase controversy.
Although Coinbase later issued an apology to its millions of customers for calling the frog meme a “hate symbol”, the statement did little to help the price of the cryptocurrency. As things currently stand — in the wake of this crypto news — the price of Pepe’s native token dropped by 0.51% in the past one hour and is presently exchanging hands at $0.000001268.
