Pepe Blasts Up After Elon Musk’s Post – Pepe Unchained’s Pump Pad Could Be the Next 100X?

The genesis Pepe the Frog (PTF) meme coin PEPE is surging today by almost 20% shortly after Elon Musk changed his profile picture on X to a PTF-like character while also modifying his user name to “Kekius Maximus.”

Musk’s cryptic tweets typically move the needle in the crypto market and his nod to this popular meme is an exciting development for the PTF-themed coins, including Pepe Unchained ($PEPU).

PEPE’s surge is defying the overall sentiment and performance of this segment of the market thus far in New Year’s Eve as the combined market cap of meme coins is experiencing a 2.4% retreat according to data from CoinMarketCap while the valuation of all cryptos is up by 3.44%.

As a result, the 30-day losses produced by $PEPE have now been trimmed to just 7.7% compared to 26.6% booked by Dogecoin ($DOGE) during this same period along with a 32.9% and 34.5% drop experienced by Bonk and Shiba Inu.

Although these profile changes do not necessarily mean that Elon Musk endorses $PEPE or any other PFT-linked crypto, they usually provide a boost to all tokens associated with the image.

The “Kekius Maximus” name and image is probably a reference to the Gladiator 2 movie, which was released on November 15 this year and was a major ticket-box success, raising nearly $500 million since its debut.

As expected, a Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) meme coin has already been minted and its market cap currently stands at nearly $1 million according to data from Raydium.

However, the best way to profit from this price boost will probably come from early-stage Pepe-the-Frog themed tokens like Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) and Pepe Unchained ($PEPU).

PEPE’s Jump from Key Horizontal Support Could Push it to Fresh All-Time High

Pepe’s price action lately has been a bit erratic, which makes it difficult to predict its next moves.

However, today’s surge is pushing the token away from the support area shown in the chart and this could result in another boost toward the $0.00003 level.

The parabolic formation resulting from the latest upswings and downswings reveal that $PEPE traders have struggled to find common ground in terms of how much the token should be worth.

In the short term, these parabolic patterns tend to result in significant volatility as price discovery continues. For now, Elon Musk’s PTF-related moves could propel the price of $PEPE to new highs.

Trading volumes have surged by 206.1% to $4.3 billion today shortly after Musk’s profile changes. This indicates that there’s significant investor interest for Pepe that could give spill over to other PTF-themed tokens.

$PEPE is currently the 20^th most valuable crypto asset and the third most valuable meme coin. So far this year, it has delivered gains of 1,535.9% to early buyers.

Pepe Unchained’s Pump Pad is Almost Ready to be Launched

Other PTF-themed tokens that are still flying under the radar could be benefitted by this renewed interest in this internet meme.

This is the case for Pepe Unchained ($PEPU), whose new feature – the Pump Pad – is almost ready to be launched. This tool will allow meme coin enthusiasts to launch new tokens via a Pump.fun-like platform.

As a layer-two project for Ethereum, Pepe Unchained has the potential to become the go-to platform for this type of asset but for the Ethereum community.

Aside from a seamless and user-friendly interface that lets creators launched tokens in minutes, the Pump Pad has integrated rug-pull protections that prevent developers from liquidating their assets as they are locked by default.

The Presale of this Pepe the Frog Meme Coin Has Raised Nearly $40M in Just a Few Days

Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) is the latest Pepe-the-Frog-themed token, and its presale is attracting millions from investors already and may bring in substantially higher amounts in the next few hours after Elon Musk’s “Kekius” event.

Thus far, $WEPE has raised $38.6 million from a growing army of degens who want to take a stand on whales by launching a token that prioritizes community building and gives early supporters (not insiders) the biggest chance to multiply their investment.

The PTF character used by Wall Street Pepe is modeled by the popular figure of the Wolf of Wall Street.

The rogue and brave personality of this legend of the financial markets is embodied by this new crypto character that may lead the masses to life-changing wealth.

The significant interest that the $WEPE presale has attracted exceeds past successful PTF-themed token offerings like Pepe Unchained ($PEPU), which more than doubled investors’ initial commitments shortly after the token was listed.

With 19 hours left for the next price increase, $WEPE’s current price of $0.0003662 can be considered a bargain, especially after Musk provided such an obvious tailwind to PTF-linked assets.
