Ethereum-based Pepe posted 92% gains over the last 24 hours to become the third-largest meme coin by market cap.

Pepe launched on <a href="https://uk.news.yahoo.com/pepe-coin-price-crypto-market-crashes-memecoin-050023523.html">April 17</a>, going from zero to a current market cap of $448.9 million — netting early investors huge profits and sparking calls for <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/meme-season-blamed-for-jump-in-ethereum-eth-gas-fees/">meme season</a>.
Over the past week, multiple tweets have posted stories of &#8216;degens&#8217; &#8216;yeeting&#8217; relatively small sums into Pepe to become overnight millionaires — generating a level of FOMO last seen during Dogecoin&#8217;s 2021 run to $0.74.
Amid general market weakness, Pepe&#8217;s strong run of form has leapfrogged FLOKI and Baby Doge Coin to become the third biggest meme coin by market cap.
However, overtaking second-placed Shiba Inu is a bigger ask, as it is currently more than ten times the value of Pepe.

As is typical with meme coins, the Pepe token has no notable use case &#8211; other than being associated with <a href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2016/06/pepe-the-frog-boys-club">Pepe the Frog</a> — originally a character in the Boy&#8217;s Club comic book created by Matt Furie in 2005.
Its <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/">CoinMarketCap page</a> states Pepe is a deflationary meme coin created as a tribute to the cartoon character. The page also mentions a redistribution system to reward long-term stakers and a burning mechanism.

Contract analysis conducted by <a href="https://gopluslabs.io/token-security/1/0x6982508145454Ce325dDbE47a25d4ec3d2311933">Go Plus Labs</a> highlights three attention items for Pepe. They are:
<ul>
<li>The number of token transactions is limited.</li>
<li>Maximum token trading can be modified.</li>
<li>The contract owner can blacklist addresses.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://twitter.com/Deeznutzwoody/status/1652898794969677824">David Wood</a> tweeted that Pepe devs can increase transaction tax. However, this contradicts Go Plus Labs&#8217; analysis, which stated the contract owner could not modify the transaction tax.
Per CMC, the creators of Pepe are anonymous, and there is no information on the team.
