A newly activated whale wallet (0x6ea) bought 1.79 trillion PEPE tokens from Binance, spending over $22 million during a memecoin market downturn.
Despite the purchase, PEPE's price dropped by 8% in 24 hours, now trading around $0.00001280, reducing the whale's portfolio value to approximately $21.9 million.
Another whale wallet (0xaca) acquired 97 billion PEPE tokens for $1.28 million on KuCoin, hinting at coordinated accumulation by big players amidst the market conditions.
The whale activity surrounding PEPE suggests a possible reversal in the memecoin sector, with institutional investors buying aggressively while retail investors may be panic-selling.
