The PEPE

Coin

In a shocking move, a staggering 16 trillion PEPE meme coins were transferred out of the project’s multisig wallet last Thursday. These coins, worth millions of dollars, were <a href="https://twitter.com/Crypto_Noddy/status/1694813331968729497" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">directed</a> to addresses linked to major crypto exchanges like Binance, OXK, and Bybit. This massive outflow led to a swift and severe 20% drop in PEPE’s market value, leaving investors scrambling for answers.

The unsettling activity didn’t stop at the coin transfer. On-chain investigators soon discovered that the multisig wallet—essentially the vault safeguarding a significant portion of PEPE’s total supply—had undergone a mysterious change in its transaction approval process. Previously, a robust system requiring signatures from five out of eight associated wallets was in place to authorize transactions. Astonishingly, this had been altered to require only two out of eight signatures, significantly lowering the security threshold.

What makes this situation particularly alarming is that this marks the first time the PEPE project’s multisig wallet has ever initiated an outgoing transaction of the <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://captainaltcoin.com/meme-coins/" title="meme" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meme</a> coin. The multisig wallet is not just any wallet; it’s a critical component in the PEPE ecosystem, acting as a custodian for a large chunk of the token’s circulating supply. Its sudden activity and the subsequent price plunge have raised serious questions about the project’s governance and security protocols. 
The sequence of these events has understandably spooked investors, leading to a market sell-off that saw PEPE’s price plummet. The 20% decline in value as of the latest reports has not only eroded investor confidence but also cast a shadow over the project’s future.
