🐸 $PEPE in 5 Numbers

PEPE.

No not the hot-headed defender from Real Madrid who use to legally murder opposition attackers. 👨🏼‍🦲

I’m talking about the latest memecoin on the block – $PEPE. 🐸

PEPE is now a top-100 crypto

TLDR on PEPE:

• Deployed on April 18

• Ranked #80-90 among top coins

• Reached a market cap of $500 million

That’s a faster rally than Lightning McQueen 🏎️!

But that’s not all. PEPE is making BIG moves in the memecoin and larger crypto market.

Here are only 5️⃣ numbers you need to know about PEPE!

⬇️

#1 – among coins traded on DEXs.

It’s official, PEPE is the MOST TRADED crypto on DEXs in the past 24 hours.

Here are the stats for the PEPE-WETH trading pair on Uniswap:

• Over 120 million in traded volume

• Over 15k interacting address

• Over 13k buying TXNs

PEPE’s trading volume on DEXs has beaten top trading pairs like – USDT ↔️ ETH, USDT ↔️ USDT, and USDT ↔️ WBNB. 🫢

2.9 quadrillion – the amount of $PEPE held by the largest holder.

In case you’re wondering how 2.9 quadrillions is written out, here you go:

🤯 = 2,900,000,000,000

This dude holds PEPE worth $3.7 million. In just the past 24 hours, the dude made close to $1.5 million because PEPE pumped by 60%. 🤣

And I thought if I go to college, get a decent job, I’ll make money. 😢

But hold on ✋, this ☝️ is not liquid money, as we explained here.

100 – the Google Search Trend for “pepecoin.”

During the peak of the PEPE mania in the middle of 🗓️ April, the terms:

• “pepe”

• “pepecoin,” and

• “pepe crypto”

Were searched more than “Why is the doodhwala so lame?” 😢

$393 million – the trading volume of PEPE in the past 24 hours.

That’s more PEPE traded than:

🐶 DOGE – $390 million

🐾 SHIB – $156 million

🧬 MATIC – $245 million

🤪 SOL – $365 million

72,618 – the number of PEPE hodlers right now.

In the past 24 hours, the number of holders of PEPE has increased by over 1,100%!! 🤯

🗓️ May 1 → 5.9k holders

🗓️ May 2 → 72.6k holders

🧐 Shardeum, what’s that!?

Shardeum.

No, that’s not the name of a crypto-punk rock bank with hits like:

🎶 HODL or Die
🎶 Death to Fiat
🎶 Blockchain Rebels
🎶 Altcoin Apocalypse
🎶 Smart Contract Killers

But seriously, Shardeum is an EVM-compatible, L1 blockchain that’s meant to achieve scalability through sharding.

We don’t know wtf that means. After all, we just humble doodhwalas. 🥛

But we know someone who does!

Ever heard of OP_RETURN? No, it’s not a complicated Java Script function ya’ll learnt back in college. 😢

It's a BITCOIN thing! 😉

And some anonymous hacker just used it to blow the whistle on 986 Bitcoin wallets linked to the Russian government. 🇷🇺

But, wtf is OP_RETURN?

OP_RETURN is like a little note you can attach to a Bitcoin transaction.

Just like writing a message on a postcard, you can write a short message on a Bitcoin transaction, and it stays there forever for everyone to see.

But remember, you can't spend or use Bitcoins in this special transaction.

It's just for sending messages! 📝💬

🗓️ Between February 12 – March 14, 2022: A mysterious user used OP_RETURN to call out 986 Bitcoin addresses allegedly belonging to Russian security agencies. 🕵️

🔍 The Messages

The hacker sent thousands of transactions to these addresses with messages like:

• "GRU to SVR. Used for hacking!"

• "GRU to GRU. Used for hacking!"

• "GRU to FSB. Used for hacking!"

• "Help Ukraine with money from the GRU Khakir"

See👇

These messages point to Russian agencies like the

• Foreign Military Intelligence Agency (GRU)

• Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)

• Federal Security Service (FSB)

  😱

💸 Sacrificing Bitcoin for the Cause

Using OP_RETURN 🔥 burns any Bitcoin in the transaction, making it inaccessible.

And they even started sending funds to Ukrainian AID addresses after the Russian invasion began.

Yeah, Putin doesn’t like this. 😟

BUT!

The big question is –

How do these hackers take their doodh?

Are these claims legit?

Some evidence supports this claim:

At least 3 of the accused addresses have been previously linked to Russian hacking activity.

• 2 addresses are connected to the SolarWinds hack

• Another address was linked to leasing the server used for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election disinformation campaign.

The fact that the OP_RETURN messages were accurate for these 3 addresses lends credibility to the claims against the others.

Doodhwala’s Take:

Bitcoin's public, permanent, and immutable ledger isn't just for transparent financial systems. 🤷‍♂️

It's becoming a tool in cyber warfare. 😭

The OP_RETURN hacker's actions show the potential of blockchain technology in military and intelligence operations.

And these messages? ✉️

They'll be on the blockchain forever (as doodh will be in our hearts forever).🥛

🧀 Cheese and Charts: Which chain loves memecoins?

Meme coins, of course, they’re trending! 📈

Well, why wouldn’t they? Who doesn’t want to make 💰💰💰 ape-ing into investments that have high risk-rewards? 🚀

Here’s the biggest problem – there’s no real due diligence being done by investors who jump into these trades. 👎

4 main problems with investing into Memecoins:

• Hard to predict movements 📊

• Very few tools for Due diligence 🔭

• No $DOODH🥛 token yet SMH 😤

But where are most of the meme coins deployed?

Our first guess is – DoodhChain Max, the only blockchain just made for animal-related meme coins.

But seriously, here’s the spread:

♦ Ethereum → 58%

🟡 Binance Smart Chain → 20%

🔵 Arbitrum → 15%
