Kraken is a big deal onboard for $PEPE
20x the size of Gemini

from personal experience as a customer ... Kraken has strong customer support & unlike Coinbase actually processes business account onboarding quickly

$PEPE in 2023 is closely mirroring $SHIB's 2021 on-
chain path, to the exact calendar date
Analog:
$SHIB April-May 2021
$PEPE April-May 2023
Today when asked about SPEPE in a space,
@cz_binance
said of listings:
"

let's explore:
why would
@Gemini
list $PEPE?
more than to make a little bit of money
but to take share from
@coinbase
who's 27x their size based on volumes
not to mention, after Gemini Earn issues ... getting new revenue flows would be good
OS, Gemini, Binance -> everyone wants $PEPE 🐸
Memes are Media

There's 106k on-chain holders of $PEPE + exchange holders
many owners know how to capture attention, surf the metas, use the tools
a new age of memers is here ... in 4chan times it was JPEGs & GIFs
now memes & short-form video
Memes are Media
think of $PEPE as a brand
you're out to dinner & you pay with your metal $PEPE card
no one has ever seen one in person👀, you have to hold 1 billion $PEPE to have one issued
there's no opaque rules to get it ... everyone knows your an OG🐸
$PEPE card = mainstream adoption
(1/10) ENS is best risk/reward trade I've found in years:
- Aug 25, 2021 ENS hit 200k registered names
- 255 days later, 1.1m registered names
- May 11, 2016 ETH hit 200k unique address
- 255 days ... 1.0m unique address

a question came up about $PEPE having cultural value
has there ever been a connection between culture & money?
Did you know the wealthiest person in the world, Bernard Arnault, owns a culture company LVMH
Culture = $$$$
(1/10) Time for mega 🧵on ENS:
- ENS is the largest and most accessible NFT project w/ 358k owners
- Owners often change twitter names to their ENS #
- Numbers are universal & collectable
- ENS is your passport across metaverse
- Full disclosure I ape'd in, not financial advice
the most important thing you can do for $PEPE
is own your $PEPE on-chain
if $0.5 to $1 billion of volume had to go through DEXs ... I'll tell you this much ... price would not be even close to here🐸
1/🐸 🧵
price is dependent on rate of change, not level
so that's why you'll see me focus on something
called the uptick
& right now ... in real-time google search trends
$PEPE is seeing an uptick
🐸Flash Update🐸
- Just hit 112k unique holders
- 1k rise in unique transacting wallets day over day
here's the interesting part:
0.2k decline in addresses sending $PEPE
&
1.6k increase in addresses receiving $PEPE 👀
divergence ... more on-chain buyers than sellers 🐸
We're all talking Binance today
but ... did you know
@cryptocom
are meme addicts
14% of their holdings sit in $SHIB, $446 million
@cryptocom
added $PEPE today🐸
- an exchange that's customers like memes
- $SHIB hasn't moved in a year, maybe liquidity flows to new places🤔
The killer app of $PEPE
ungovernable
$PEPE has no master

$pepe on deck
from the history books: May 2021 ... weekend of $SHIB's Binance listing, $1.1B market cap to $13.69 billion in 3 days 👀
one cannot contain a meme
(1/10) Liquidity is the core factor on why 3 & 4 digits will likely accrue outsized value in ENS ecosystem
- Liquidity begets liquidity
- ENS volume last 2 wks > all volume before
- 3 & 4 digits initial liquidity was from NFT degens, now being joined by freshly funded wallet

we're playing for something greater
now, $PEPE dominates twitter's TL
a level up will be other socials

1/ 🐸 🧵
We always talk about $DOGE & $SHIB ... but I thought hey want about $APE coin ... at the peak that was worth a lot
at the peak it traded at $6.7b ... fully diluted ~ $20b
$PEPE is basically at the same search traffic as peak $APE
this 🧵 is worth a full read 🤝

not liabilities, why👀
OpenSea basically admitting that
$PEPE > NFTs

@opensea
1/ 🐸🧵
Over last 2 days OKX bought 4% of $PEPE
during this period, holdings outside the Top 500 holders has stayed constant at 37.5%
this suggests Top 500 holders have been moderately reducing portions to centralized exchanges
& ETH liquidity is on net flowing in via CEXs
1/🐸🧵
The Uptick - What it is & Why it Matters
Over last 2 days, daily on-chain unique $PEPE transactions fell from 33k to 17k
but today, even with high $ETH gas prices: they rose to 24k
$PEPE on-chain activity now well above $SHIB's pre-Binance listing history
let's go:
1/ 🐸🧵
On-Chain Distribution Increasing
- Unique wallets at All-Time High 110.4k vs 108.3k 11 hours ago
- Binance holdings continue to drift lower to 17.9%
- Holdings outside Top 100 increased to 42.1%
🐸 WHY WE SEE FUD 🐸
seeing massive FUD from NFT community
on $PEPE
why ... in the most simple terms
more people today are googling uniswap than opensea
1st time since November 2021
flip happened with rise of $PEPE 🐸

$PEPE will grow attention long-term

🐸my take 🐸
a tweet needs to grab attention
too many hashtags &👀glaze over to next tweet
$PEPE > other hashtags
$PEPE = 5 characters, can be used in a sentence easily
other common hashtags: 9, 11, 15 characters
difficult to use in attention grabbing sentence😴
Proof of $PEPE
practice what you preach they say
utility in $PEPE, natively no
but we as members of $PEPE community can add utility to holding $PEPE
hold 1 billion+ $PEPE on-chain
drop ENS/address
13 more to distribute (of 61)

- Low $ETH gas fees
- Consumers comfortable with on-chain transactions
- Crypto being social, NFTs made us want to flex, ENS makes us searchable

Yesterday we shared an overview of the $pepe meme coin to provide a fact-based picture of a trending topic. This did not provide the whole picture of the history of the meme and we apologize to the community.
1/ 🐸🧵
high $ETH gas fees curtailed on-chain $PEPE activity for last week & in-part led to a huge rise in CEX ownership of $PEPE
Today $ETH gas fees are returning to pre-$PEPE mania levels
today seeing rise of unique $PEPE holders, up to 111.3k now
1/ 🐸🧵
Gemini & how buying here drives adoption
over last 2 days Gemini has acquired 0.68% of $PEPE
if this grows to scale of OKX ~5% ... this would indicate demand from US buyers is strong
& other US exchanges would prioritize listing $PEPE
everyone embracing $PEPE
akin to how go woke = go broke
$PEPE is the opposite
$PEPE = engagement & volume
engagement draws in productive creators & companies

🐸on-chain data
- Over last 8 hours, demand from centralized exchanges has been strong
- OKX has been a large buyer, buying 2.6 Trillion $PEPE
Why this sort of analysis matters?
OKX owns 1.1% of $SHIB, Binance owns 7.1%
Still early in CEX adoption, already mattering today
🐸Flash Update🐸
Internal Movements at Binance
Sent 50 Trillion $PEPE from Binance 14 to Binance 8
Binance now holds $PEPE across 4 top 25 wallets, totally 20.4% of $PEPE
Centralization continues to increase, holdings outside Top 100 fell to 39.8% from 41.2% on May 16
1/🐸🧵
- on-chain activity has been particularly low the last few days
- more receivers (buyers) than senders (sellers)
