The price of Pepe Coin (PEPE) has jumped by more than 65% in the past 24 hours, with its surge to $0.00000213 marking a 700% gain the past week.

And because many major exchanges have not yet listed Pepe Coin (including Binance), the new token could be in for further gains in the coming weeks, despite its lack of fundamental value.
Currently, it's ranked 58th in
