Meme Coin Trading Volume Surges to Two-Year High, a Sign of Caution for Bitcoin (BTC) Bulls

The speculative mania was led by pepecoin (PEPE), a frog-themed token launched in mid-April with a maximum supply of 420 trillion. PEPE crossed $1 billion in market capitalization on Friday, eventually peaking at $1.82 billion, a staggering achievement for a three-week-old meme cryptocurrency. At press time, PEPE’s market cap stood at $931 million, per Coingecko.
