Bitcoin Is Basking In The Limelight,  But This Popular Frog Memecoin Stole The Show With 33% Gains — Why Pepe Is Topping The Charts Today?

Pepe Coin (CRYPTO: PEPE) has experienced a staggering 32% surge within the past 24 hours, surpassing the gains of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), and other major meme coins.

What Happened: The surge in PEPE’s price coincides with a remarkable increase in trading volume, which has seen a 172% rise, reaching an impressive $303 million. The majority of PEPE’s trading occurred on Binance, accounting for over $90 million, followed by Kucoin with over $17 million.

Why It Matters:  The surge in PEPE’s price can primarily be attributed to the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin on October 23. BTC rose over 10% from $31,000 to briefly touch $34,000, eventually settling at its current price of $34,752, according to CoinMarketCap. This surge sparked a wider market rally, impacting various altcoins and meme coins, including PEPE.

These sudden price increases across the cryptocurrency market coincide with a renewed interest in the imminent approvals of spot ETFs and a significant surge in trading volumes across various spot markets. This surge aligns with the ongoing developments surrounding BlackRock’s proposed spot Bitcoin ETF.

Price Action: At the time of writing, PEPE was trading at $0.000001015, up 32.15% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
