June 1, 2025 – Pepe Coin (PEPE), inspired by the famous Pepe the Frog meme, has become a big name in the crypto market today. This meme coin was launched in April 2023 and has grabbed people’s attention ever since. This article tells the story of Pepe Coin from its inception to today in easy Hindi, including its ups and downs, prices, and the strength of the community.


Pepe Coin Launch

Pepe Coin launched on the Ethereum blockchain in April 2023. It was a coin that had no taxes and no special utility. It was just based on the fun of internet memes. The name and logo of Pepe Coin were taken from the famous Pepe the Frog meme, created by Matt Furie. It had a total supply of 420.69 trillion coins. It came at a time when meme coins like Dodgecoin and Shiba Inu dominated the market. But Pepe’s unique theme quickly made it a favorite of the people.

Initially, its community promoted it a lot on platforms like Reddit, Bitcointalk and Crypto Compare. Viral memes and hype on social media made it increasingly popular.


2023: Initial Boom

Pepe Coin had a very volatile first year. Its price reached a low of $0.000000075514 on April 18, 2023, just a few days after its launch. But soon it became a hit among the people. The hype on social media and the interest of small investors took it up rapidly. By the end of 2023, the market value of Pepe Coin exceeded $1 billion. It got listed on major exchanges like Coinbase and Robinhood, leading more people to invest in it. By 2023, it became the third largest meme coin, behind only Dodgecoin and Shiba Inu.


2024: Big Boom and Bust

Pepe Coin saw big highs and lows in 2024. Its price reached its highest level of $0.00002825 on December 9, 2024. But this was followed by a decline of 80% and the price fell to $0.00000520 by March 2025. This decline was due to the volatility of the crypto market and the reduced hype after the swearing-in of the US President in January 2025.

However, Pepe did not give up. It bounced back in April 2024 and rose from $0.00000728 to $0.00001536, an increase of 82%. During this period, big investors (whales) bought the coins and the trading volume reached $2 billion.


2025: Gaining Momentum

As of June 1, 2025, Pepe Coin has a market value of around $5.44 billion and is priced at $0.00001163. The first part of 2025 has been very encouraging for it, with big surges, social media hype, and endorsements from some big names.


May 2025: Great Surge

Pepe Coin saw a 130% surge in May 2025 and its price reached $0.00001632. There were several reasons behind this:

  • Big investor: A big investor withdrew 2.2 trillion coins ($29 million) from Binance, which increased the price by 10%. There was also a transfer of another 2 trillion coins, which added excitement to the market.
  • Social media: US President Donald Trump posted a meme of Pepe the Frog on Truth Social, which increased the price by 7% and the trading volume reached $1.63 billion.
  • Technical indicators: Pepe crossed some important technical levels, such as the 38.20% Fibonacci level, which boosted investor confidence.

But this surge was followed by some decline. The price fell by 7.1% to $0.00001293 on May 26, 2025. The number of coins held by large investors also decreased, hitting the lowest level since November 2024.


Future Predictions

Some experts believe that the price of Pepe could go up to $0.00005 by the end of 2025. Some are even predicting $0.015 by 2030. But some are cautious and say that the price could fall to $0.000007603. Pepe’s price is highly dependent on social media hype, so the risk is also high.


Community and Influence

The community of Pepe Coin is its biggest strength. People create memes and promote the coin on platforms like Reddit, X, and TikTok. In November 2024, 11.46 million coins (~$50 million) were burned, which reduced its supply and increased the possibility of price appreciation. Some big traders, like James Winn, also hyped it, although some of his trades resulted in losses.


Challenges

Pepe Coin faces some challenges:

  • Volatility: Its price fluctuates very quickly.
  • Lack of utility: It has no significant technical utility, it just runs on hype.
  • Competition: Newer meme coins like Pepeto and MIND of Pepe, which offer more features, are a threat to it.

Future Expectations

Pepe Coin is a strong meme coin in the crypto market as of June 1, 2025. A 130% increase in May 2025 and a market value of $5.44 billion have further strengthened it. But its price is still 50% below its December 2024 high. Its future depends on social media and investor enthusiasm. It is a fun but risky investment.


Note: Investing in cryptocurrencies is risky. Do good research before investing in meme coins like Pepe.
