However, the decision to list PEPE&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/perpetual-futures/" target="_blank" rel="">futures</a>&nbsp;indicates a shift, likely influenced by market demand and the meme coin trend. 
PEPE is the fourth largest&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://crypto.news/tag/meme-coin/" rel="">meme coin</a>&nbsp;by market capitalization, valued at $3 billion. The market’s enthusiasm for meme coins and PEPE’s prominence as a leading Ethereum (<a target="_blank" href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" rel="">ETH</a>) token likely influenced Coinbase’s decision to explore futures trading for PEPE. 
PEPE’s value surged 350% in a week at the&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/pepe-bull-run-millionaires/" target="_blank" rel="">beginning of March</a>, making it the third-largest meme coin by market capitalization with a 600% monthly increase.
