Highlights
- Pepe Coin has seen a major whale offload involving 150 billion tokens
- PEPE price has seen further selloff, with possible drawdown extension
- The broader crypto market is down, with expectations of rebound soon
The negative sentiment in the digital currency ecosystem is finally reflected in the Pepe Coin market. According to Lookonchain’s update, one of the memecoin’s whales has initiated a massive selloff. This selloff has further compounded the bearish outlook of the token, further dampening the outlook around the memecoin.
PEPE Whale Selloff, Key Implications
Per the Lookonchain update on X, the PEPE OG sold 150,000,000,000 tokens worth over $1.14 million in early trading. The analytics platform noted that this OG entered the PEPE market earlier. The whale reportedly spent only $2,184 to buy 1.5 trillion PEPE, valued at over $43 million at the peak.
This whale has sold off 1.02 trillion PEPE thus far for $6.66 million. Onchain records show he still has 493 billion PEPE of the original stash. This leftover is worth $3.64 million, representing a total profit of $10.3 million or 4,718x.

Whales selling off an asset is typically not a vote of confidence for the digital currency. This selloff is not uncommon to memecoins, and for PEPE, this may further dampen the negative outlook of the token.
PEPE Coin Price Outlook
Earlier this week, CoinGape reported a 500 billion PEPE accumulation by a whale, a move that many hoped could push the price up. However, the reverse is the case as Pepe Coin price is currently trading for $0.0000073, down 5.57% in past 24 hours.
Despite the broader market downturn, PEPE has come off as one of the biggest losers overall. Per the current setup, the token moved from a 24-hour high of $0.00000787 to its current price. While the token has maintained a marginal growth of 0.54% in the past 7-days, it has registered a 62% drawdown Year-to-Date (YTD).
It remains unknown how the current PEPE Coin outlook will play out. However, a halt in whale selloffs and a shift in the broader memecoin market fundamentals might fuel its recovery.
Crypto Market and Memecoin Rebound
The broader crypto market is down today, facing negative pressures from the economic uncertainty in the broader financial market.
Bitcoin has continued to weigh the altcoins down, explaining the PEPE-correlated selloff. Assets in the memecoin market, like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, have also been down 5.58% and 3.3% in the past 24 hours.
With the weekend volatility, top assets might see more price drawdowns overall. Analysts are optimistic about BTC’s future recovery, which can have a ripple effect on the broader market.
