The activities of crypto whales continue to influence market movements due to the size of their holdings. As a result, the wider community is keen on their transfers leaving an impact on the ecosystem. Similarly, sudden transfers to centralized crypto exchanges like Kraken, Binance, and Coinbase often lead to wider sell-offs.

Crypto users have suggested falling crypto prices as a major reason behind the sale. However, the whale still holds large amounts of Pepe coins. Meme tokens are affected by the activities of top assets as their price swings on sentiments and on-chain data. At press time, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/pepe-coin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE trades</a> at $0.00000777, making a 1% growth in the last 24 hours despite the market downturn.&nbsp;
