Published by

Whales have been accumulating Pepe Coin for over a month that led to PEPE price hitting new all-time highs daily. As per IntoTheBlock data, wallet addresses with over $100K have increased their Pepe Coin holdings in the last few days and 100% of PEPE holders are currently in profit.

PEPE price hit an all-time high of $0.00001156 today and CoinGape recommended buying Pepe Coin when it was trading at $0.000007079 almost a month ago.

Whales Continue to Accumulate Pepe Coin

On-chain platform Lookonchain reported a whale purchased 520 billion Pepe Coin on May 15, speculating further upside movement in PEPE price. The whale withdrew PEPE worth $5.28 million from crypto exchange Binance.

The whale is not a trader and has held investments in tokens for a long time. He bought a total of 10 tokens and never sold them. Lookonchain added that the whale has a net loss of $6.1 million and only 5 tokens are profitable, with a win rate of 50%.

In addition, a wallet address related to BlockTower Capital purchased 202 billion worth $2.2 million via crypto trading firm Cumberland. Meanwhile, BlockTower Capital’s main hedge fund has been compromised and partially drained by fraudsters.

Pepe Coin saw massive buying from investors as price hit a new all-time high. IntoTheBlock data revealed that 100% of PEPE traders are in profit, indicating a high probability of selloff by whales.
