Pepe Coin, the Pepe the Frog-themed meme coin that exploded back in April, made near instant millionaires.
What was so amazing it that many millionaires were created despite only putting very small initial investments into the $PEPE token.
For example, a Twitter user going by the name of lyx.eth highlighted back in April how one wallet beginning with 0xAf235 made nearly $1 million at the time with a minuscule initial $27 investment in Pepe.

The 2.5 trillion $PEPE tokens bought by the wallet, which it is still holding onto as can be verified on EtherScan here, are now worth a cool $3.8 million.
At the peak of Pepe mania back in early May, when the project’s market cap hit an enormous $1.8 billion, these tokens would have been worth close to $10 million.
$PEPE was last trading around $0.0000015, well within its recent $0.0000014-18ish multi-week range.
At present, the project has a market cap of around $630 million, as per DEXTools.

Mr Hankey Coin, which is proudly marketing itself as the crypto industry’s best shitcoin, already has over 5,600 followers on Twitter, while the project’s Telegram
