Is PEPE’s rally over?
In June, PEPE experienced a rally amidst a market-wide bull run. The meme coin outperformed other cryptocurrencies, attracting attention and excitement.
However, as time passed, the excitement surrounding PEPE dwindled. The number of new holders entering the PEPE ecosystem has significantly reduced, signaling the possibility of further price decline.
In May, Santiment Insights highlighted that meme coins, including PEPE, heavily rely on community-driven efforts with limited utility and little involvement from venture capital. Therefore, monitoring on-chain metrics, like network growth, becomes essential for investors to gauge potential demand in such projects.
