PEPE’s price explosion: what’s behind meme coin’s surge

Despite the recent surge, Pepe’s price is still down by 69% from its all-time high of $0.000004354 on May 5. The asset recorded an 89% surge over the past 30 days as the broader crypto market entered a bull run.

According to data provided by the market intelligence platform Santiment, Pepe’s social volume skyrocketed by 105% over the past day. Data shows that the social activity mainly comes from X (formerly Twitter), Telegram, and Reddit.

Moreover, the number of whale transactions consisting of at least $100,000 worth of PEPE rose by 50% in the past 24 hours — hiking from only eight transactions on Nov. 8 to 12 at the time of writing.

On the other hand, the number of active PEPE deposits to exchanges, per Santiment, has declined by 33.8% since Nov. 6. This could indicate that holders are still waiting for a further price hike before withdrawing funds.

According to the market intelligence platform, the PEPE price-daily active addresses (DAA) divergence currently stands at 5.8%. When the DAA divergence indicator rises, it suggests a “buy” signal, per Santiment.

On Nov. 8, Dogecoin (DOGE) millionaire Glauber Contessoto mentioned PEPE among the top 10 coins he’s interested in.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Here’s Why BTC Is Failing to Move Above $30k

The largest cryptocurrency has according to on-chain insights from CryptoQuant “been lodged within a narrow corridor for the past three months.” The on-chain analytics platform claims that the answer lies in the protocol’s fundamental factors such as supply and miner activity. advertisement While we will explore Bitcoin’s fundamental position in a bit, BTC is still feeling the pinch of an aggressive bear camp – down 1% to $30,005. Trading volume is up to $14 billion with its market capitalization holding at $582 billion. The largest altcoin appears to be following in BTC’s footsteps, down 1.6% to $1,898. As discussed in the previous Analysis , Ethereum price must reclaim $1,900 support to keep the resumption of the uptrend above $2,000 intact. What’s Next if Bitcoin Price Loses $30,000 Support?

Source: a video screenshot, FTX Official / YouTube Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and former CEO of FTX, has eventually agreed to participate in the upcoming U.S. House committee’s hearing and testify on the collapse of his crypto empire.  In a Friday tweet, Bankman-Fried said he still does not have access to much data regarding his crypto empire and what led to the collapse, but would participate in the hearing on December 13 as the committee believes it would be useful. "I still do not have access to much of my data -- professional or personal. So there is a limit to what I will be able to say, and I won't be as helpful as I'd like.

As reported, the US House Financial Services Committee announced last month that it plans to hold a hearing to investigate the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX.

Japan Edges Toward Corporate Crypto Tax Reform

Image
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 a final step in this process is approval from the National Tax Agency (NTA). 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
