PEPE has surged 1,538% year-to-date, outperforming most top 100 crypto assets. In comparison, Dogecoin (DOGE) has gained 370% during the same period.
PEPE’s price rally comes amid a wide resurgence in the altcoin market following Ethereum’s rise to $4,000 for the first time since March. Ethereum’s recent price recovery, alongside strong indicators like the Altcoin Season Index reaching 89, has bolstered confidence among traders that the altcoin season has begun.
Listings on major US exchanges have also supported PEPE’s upward momentum. Binance.US recently added PEPE trading, joining Coinbase and Robinhood, despite these platforms typically maintaining strict listing criteria for meme coins due to regulatory considerations.
Dog-themed meme coins also saw major gains over the weekend. Baby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE) increased 33%, while DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG) rose 16%, CoinGecko data shows.
Other tokens posting gains included Dogwifhat (WIF), Popcat (POPCAT), Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), and Turbo (TURBO).
