 <p>Pepe Coin, once a celebrated deflationary meme coin, has found itself at the center of investor anxiety. The developer team’s sudden movement of an immense number of coins to centralized exchanges has ignited fears of a potential <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="rug-pull" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/rug-pull.html">rug-pull</a> scenario. This development could have devastating consequences.</p>

    <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Quick thread on what just happened with PEPE. 1 hour ago the official $PEPE team wallet (pepecexwallet.eth) transfered 62% of their PEPE (16 trillion) to Binance. This was worth about $15.5 million. Then it appears the PEPE was sent back out of Binance in four transactions <br>1/4</p>— x-o (@ethx_o) August 24, 2023

 <p>Etherscan data reveals a massive transfer of 16 trillion Pepe Coin tokens, valued at a staggering $15.08 million, to four major cryptocurrency exchanges. This event triggered an immediate and sharp 15% drop in the price of Pepe Coin.</p>

 <p>Concerns were further intensified when changes were made to the Pepe Coin multi-signature wallet’s configuration. A total of 29 trillion Pepe Coin tokens, equivalent to 6.9% of the team’s holdings, were shifted to exchanges.</p> 
 <p>However, some analysts are downplaying this <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="concern" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/concern.html">concern</a>, stating that most PEPE token holders are exchanges. So, a large-scale sell-off is unlikely at this stage.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>The token has been on a bearish trajectory for over two months now. The analysts anticipate it may revisit its earlier lows near $0.0000008 this past June. The short-term forecast presents a grim view.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Nevertheless, Pepe Coin’s core fundamentals remain robust. Etherscan data shows a consistent rise in token holders, now over 138,000. The retail interest in Pepe Coin continues to hold, and the lowering value of $PEPE could motivate more investors.</p>
