<p>With the month of May already unfolding, the <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency market</a> is trading in a relatively choppy trend, taking the cue from the flagship decentralized finance (<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/liquidity-mining-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>) asset – Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) – and some altcoins are performing better than others.</p><p>In this context, <a href="https://finbold.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Finbold</a> has analyzed the recent performance and developments around these top altcoins on the market to deliver a list of five altcoins that <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/cryptocurrency-trading/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto traders</a> and <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/investing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">investors</a> should pay particular attention to during the fifth month of 2023.</p><h2 id="header-0">Pepe (PEPE)</h2><p>A new sensation in the <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto</a> space, Pepe (PEPE) has witnessed <a href="https://finbold.com/from-meme-to-millions-pepe-cryptocurrencys-explosive-150m-growth/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">massive success</a>, surging <a href="https://finbold.com/jokes-aside-pepe-surges-120-to-become-worlds-3rd-largest-meme-coin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">over 120%</a> on May 1, to become the world’s third largest meme coin, entering the company of the meme <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrencies/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> ‘greats’ and outpacing the likes of Floki (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/floki/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FLOKI</a>) and Baby Doge Coin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/baby-doge-coin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BABYDOGE</a>).</p><p>On top of that, PEPE was recently <a href="https://www.okx.com/help-center/okx-will-list-pepe-pepe-for-spot-trading" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">listed</a> on OKX,  which has helped its price grow a massive 329.18% over the last week and an even more impressive 1,503.11% in a single month, despite its gains being slightly offset by the 19.97% loss in the last 24 hours, as per <em><a href="https://finbold.com/guide/best-crypto-data-websites/#CoinMarketCap" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a></em> data retrieved on May 3.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/36d4676ba6b841349b6d1670be0c80dc.png" /><p><em>Pepe 30-day price chart.
