PeckShieldAlert, a top blockchain security company, has issued an urgent warning regarding a phishing site and a fake Twitter account related to the newly emerged Pepe (PEPE) meme coin. The company has confirmed that the Twitter account username (@PEPEcoineth_) is fraudulent, and a link, “PEPEcoin.vip” is a phishing website.

Worryingly, the fake Twitter account has already gained over 11.8K followers, who are now vulnerable to a scam. Reports indicate that scammers have stolen 3.56 billion PEPE, through two separate transactions.

This news comes just days after Pepe’s debuted on April 16th, which has stunned many cryptocurrency traders with its tremendous performance. Pepe’s value has increased by over 21,000 times within three days of its launch.

Despite Pepe’s remarkable performance, many questions are being raised about whether it can replace established tokens like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE). However, David Gokhshtein, the founder of Gokhshtein Media, disagrees. In a recent tweet, Gokhshtein stated that PEPE couldn’t replace Shiba Inu or Dogecoin and is far from becoming the next big thing in the meme coin world.

Japan Edges Toward Corporate Crypto Tax Reform

Source: Oka/Adobe Japan is inching closer to reforming its strict crypto tax laws for corporations – in a bid to stop an “exodus” of crypto talent and capital from flowing overseas. Pressure to reform has mounted in recent years, with industry figures and opposition leaders alike all calling for change. More recently, the top financial regulator, the Financial Services Agency (FSA), has signalled that it also wants to modify the restrictive laws.

But while the NTA is yet to publicly signal it will make the change, analysts believe that it is working on a tax reform bill that it hopes to unveil in parliament in the coming months. Late last week, the NTA released a set of FAQs that address the matter of crypto taxation. And while these did not directly make mention of any coming reform, Junya Izumi, an Associate Professor of Tax Law at the Chiba University of Commerce, pointed out on Twit
