Why It Matters: Large transactions often impact cryptocurrencies’ liquidity and price stability. Investors and traders closely monitor such activities to gauge market sentiment and possible future price actions.
A recent Whale Insider tweet stated that PEPE has reached over 240,000 holders as "analysts call for $10 billion market cap valuation over the coming weeks." Currently, PEPE is valued at $6.2 billion, with a 65% increase reported in the past month. IntoTheBlock data noted that 88% of PEPE holders are currently in profit.
