But why is PEPE one of the biggest losers in the market today?
A notable amount of the PEPE meme coin, valued in the millions of dollars, was walking out of crypto exchanges. This occurrence alarmed investors, leading to a drop in its price and also bringing focus to concerning activities within the project’s multi-sig wallet. More than 16 trillion tokens were abruptly taken out of the PEPE multi-sig wallet. This wallet stands as one of the most significant holders of this meme coin.
These tokens were sent to addresses linked to Binance, OXK, and Bybit. A report reveals that PEPE totaling $8.2 million was sent to OKX, $6.5 million to Binance, and $434,000 to Bybit. Alongside this, an extra $400,000 was moved to a wallet whose owner is not known. All in all, about 16 trillion PEPE tokens were sent from the wallet address, which constitutes roughly 3.8% of the entire token supply.
The requirement for transaction approval had shifted. From needing the consensus of five out of eight wallets, it dropped to just two out of eight. This movement followed closely after individuals monitoring the blockchain detected changes related to how the wallet, functioning like a secure vault, manages the approval of transactions.
Currently, this wallet holds PEPE amounting to $10 million. Noteworthy is the fact that this fund transfer represented the first instance of these tokens being dispatched from the project’s multi-sig wallet to exchanges.
