- PEPE is seeing increased whale accumulation as price bounces near key level.
- The meme coin could explode amid further buy-side pressure as Binance.US lists token.
Pepe (PEPE) has recorded a notable increase in price amid bullish momentum. However, bulls could see another huge move as the surge in whale activity points to long term positioning.
Per market data, the meme coin’s holder composition had a net inflow of 580 billion PEPE and an outflow of 534 billion PEPE on Dec.3. As the market trends indicate Pepe whale accumulation, this outlook suggests a potential impact on price as buying pressure mounts.
PEPE whale activity
According to Lookonchain, PEPE whales continue to accumulate the meme coin. This comes even as some long term holders take profits.
While a whale deposited 356.2 billion tokens worth $7.3 million to Kraken, recording a return profit of 31x, others have quickly gobbled up the meme coins from the market.
Over the last 20 days, one whale went on an accumulation spree. Per Lookonchain data shared on X, the whale withdrew about 337 billion Pepe tokens worth nearly $7 million at the time from Binance. This happened as PEPE price jumped alongside the broader meme market. The sector is one of the few that rode the “Trump trade” narrative to record notable upticks.
