As of 2026-11-10, PEPE coin is not dead. PEPE coin trades $610.1 million over 24 hours and $12.75 billion over 30 days, ranks 42nd and has a $2.23 billion market cap. What has faded is distance from its peak: the price sits 81.1% below the December 2024 all-time high.
Key data
Trading activity is the clearest sign of life. A 24-hour volume of $610.1 million and a 30-day volume of $12.75 billion mean buyers and sellers are still meeting in large size every day. A coin that had been abandoned would show thin volume and a falling rank, and neither applies here, since PEPE coin sits at rank 42 by market cap.
Price tells a more mixed story. PEPE coin trades at $0.0000053, which is 13.1% below its level a year ago, and its market cap has moved from $2.62 billion a year ago to $2.23 billion. Against the all-time high of $0.00002803 set on 2024-12-09, the price is 81.1% lower. The one-year decline is modest next to the gap from the peak, so most of the damage dates from before the last 12 months.
The path over the last 12 months was uneven. The price reached a one-year high of $0.000007194 on 2026-01-05 and a one-year low of $0.000002323 on 2026-07-02. The June month-end close was $0.00000235 with a market cap of $988.7 million, and each month-end close since then has been higher, reaching $0.00000529 in November. The last 7 and 30 days show +8.9% and +27.1%, but windows this short can reverse quickly and say little about direction.

What dead can mean for a meme coin
For a meme coin, dead can mean several different things. It can mean trading has stopped and nobody can sell, it can mean the team and community have left, or it can simply mean the price has fallen far from an earlier peak. PEPE coin fits only the last meaning: it is liquid and widely traded, but it trades well below its all-time high.
The supply explains why the price looks so small. Circulating, total and maximum supply are all 420.69 trillion tokens, so the figures reported by CoinGecko show no gap between what exists and what could ever exist. With that many tokens, each one is worth a tiny fraction of a dollar, and market cap is the more useful measure of size than the per-token price.
Concentration and launch questions around PEPE coin
Reporting in the last 12 months has focused on who holds the token. In December 2025, Cointelegraph reported a Bubblemaps claim that roughly 30% of the initial supply sat in wallets linked to a single holder, and that this group sold about $2 million of PEPE on the day after the April 2023 launch. Cointelegraph also reported that the project website had been exploited earlier that month and briefly redirected users to a wallet-draining scam tool.
A later report from Cointelegraph cited Etherscan data showing 513,392 holders, and quoted a filing stating that the ten largest wallets held approximately 41% of circulating supply as of January 2026. High concentration matters because a few large holders can move a market, and it is one reason liquid meme coins can still fall sharply. More tokens of this kind are compared on the Ethereum meme coins page.

Signs of life and warning signs
Signs of life
- The 24-hour volume of $610.1 million shows heavy daily trading.
- The 30-day volume of $12.75 billion shows the activity is sustained rather than a single spike.
- A rank of 42 and a market cap of $2.23 billion keep PEPE coin among the larger tokens by size.
- Month-end closes rose from $0.00000235 in June to $0.00000529 in November, with a market cap of $2.23 billion.
Warning signs
- The price is 81.1% below the all-time high of $0.00002803 set on 2024-12-09.
- Market cap is $2.23 billion, below the $2.62 billion recorded a year ago.
- The ten largest wallets held approximately 41% of circulating supply as of January 2026, according to a filing cited by Cointelegraph.
- Coinvote shows 0 votes and 0 comments, so the community signal is empty at the moment.
How to read this
Volume and market cap answer the literal question of whether PEPE coin is dead. Large, steady volume and a rank of 42 describe a coin that is alive in market terms. The distance from the all-time high describes something different, which is how much value has left since the peak, and it does not mean trading has stopped.
The Coinvote community figures are one signal among several, and currently a weak one. PEPE coin was listed on 2026-11-10, with 0 votes and 0 comments, so there is no earlier period to compare against. Zero activity here reflects a new listing, not a lack of interest in the wider market. Compare it with other tokens on the meme coins page once more votes exist.
Meme coins move on sentiment and are very volatile, as the January surge and the July low in the same 12 months show. Reporting from outlets such as DL News describes them as trading largely on trader sentiment. Past moves say nothing about future direction, so every figure here is a dated snapshot rather than a trend line.
