Throughout the years, numerous Pepe the Frog NFTs and tokens have been introduced, but the recent PEPE token has been especially adept at capturing the market's interest.
The PepeCoin's official Twitter account proclaims it as the "ultimate memeable memecoin," cheekily suggesting that the era of dog-themed meme coins such as Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has come to an end.
Data from Lookonchain further revealed that among the top PEPE token holders, a majority of profits have not been realized yet.
Nevertheless, three of these whales have managed to sell PEPE tokens, garnering proceeds between $1 million and $4 million.
In contrast, six whales have not sold any PEPE tokens and continue to hold their investments.
