The listing came amid a surge in PEPE’s valuation, now ranked the fifteenth largest digital asset on CoinMarketCap.
PEPE has soared more than 100% in the past seven days.
Coinbase listed Pepe, a meme token created from a frog internet meme that gained popularity in the early 2000s. The long-awaited listing followed the recent bull market that drove most cryptocurrencies to unprecedented levels.
The crypto rally also pushed the valuation of PEPE to more
than $9 billion, making it the fifteenth largest digital asset. According to CoinMarketCap, the meme token was up 20% in the past day and 115% on the weekly chart at the time of writing. Currently, PEPE trades at
$0.00002275.
Coinbase Embraces Meme Tokens
On Wednesday, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal informed
the crypto community that the exchange was soon listing the token.
“You have long wanted the frog. Well, soon you'll get the
frog. @coinbase is adding PEPE to our listing roadmap with the goal of listing
later today. Thanks for your patience,”
he wrote. Interestingly, Pepe’s description on CoinMarketCap states that it
aims to capitalize on the popularity of other meme tokens like Shiba Inu and
Dogecoin.
Interestingly, Coinbase faced criticism from the
crypto community on Twitter last year after it published a newsletter article criticizing
the meme token. In the publication, the author described an Ethereum-based meme
coin as a coin “that has been co-opted as a hate symbol by alt-right groups,”
citing the Anti-Defamation League for the description.
Past Criticism
The tussle came after PEPE reportedly became the fastest Ethereum token to hit $1 billion amid a rise in the popularity of meme tokens. “For a few, speculation on meme coins has led to
massive profits, but that doesn’t come without risks too, sometimes meme coin
frenzies even precede broad declines in Bitcoin and Ethereum,” the article added.

Like most meme tokens, PEPE founders are anonymous. The
token is described as a deflationary meme coin based on Ethereum. The meme
project reportedly has three phases in its roadmap, including listing on
CoinMarketCap and making the token trend on X. The project’s team also seeks to
list on centralized exchanges.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
