The Pepe (PEPE) price pumped up 30% on Monday, with investors flooding back into the meme coin amid a surge in risk-taking activity across cryptocurrency markets as Bitcoin (BTC) retook $54,000 for the first time since early December 2021.
Last changing hands just under $0.0000018, the Pepe price is at its highest levels since July 2023.
PEPE even unsuccessfully attempted to push beyond its summer 2023 highs in the $0.00000188 area.

Only coins with market caps of less than $100 million stand any real chance of pulling of 100x gains.
One such coin that might deliver big gains is a just-launched meme coin called Frogwifhat (FWIF).
