Popular meme coin Pepe Coin ($PEPE) has risen 2% in the last 24 hours as it continues outpacing all other leading meme coins in gains over the last fortnight.
At today’s price of $0.058771, PEPE is 26% pricier than it was two Mondays ago. That makes it the top-performing meme coin over the period in question.
In contrast, the original meme coin Dogecoin ($DOGE) only added 1.4% over the fortnight to change hands at $0.1428 as of this writing.
Like Dogecoin, none of the other ten biggest meme coins by market capitalization posted double-digit percentage gains over the last two weeks.
