Coinbase’s decision to list PEPE futures marks a significant shift from its previous stance against engaging in sarcastic activities. It connects the event to a larger market picture stimulated by meme coins and the general interest in projects with a similar nature to PEPE. PEPE’s $2.6 trillion market capitalization indicates its effective management as an Ethereum token, making it a suitable candidate for futures trading.

The recent boost in PEPE spent, which resulted in a 350% upsurge within a week, and $ 3,000 in March turned it into the third in the market capitalization. Along with a 600% monthly increase, confirms its position in the market.
