The crypto community is praising the trader for being an early PEPE investor and holding the meme coin for so long. More importantly, making such huge gains with mere meme coin investment.

Is PEPE The Best Meme Coin For 2024?

PEPE is definitely among the best meme coins for this year because of its continuous gains from the beginning of the year. Though Pepe Coin was introduced last year, the token price declined heavily after creating a peak in the first few days of launch. However, with the beginning of 2024, it exhibited a bullish nature, creating the first peak of the year in March, and reaching a high of $0.000009977.
