Following the U.S Presidential Election’s results, the wider cryptocurrency market has registered a notable rally, attracting billions worth of capital in the process. Amid this positive outlook, a crypto whale known for expertise in profiting from memecoins made a huge bet on PEPE.
Whale adds $5 million of PEPE
On 6 November 2024, the whale transaction tracker TheDataNerd revealed that the whale wallet address “0x51C” deposited a significant 5.5 million USDT to Binance to acquire 535.81 billion PEPE worth $5.07 million.
Transaction trackers also noted that before acquiring PEPE, this whale had already made profitable investments in BRETT and TURBO memecoins. In fact, the whale reportedly earned profits of $708k and $952k too, respectively.
In addition to this notable acquisition, PEPE’s large transaction volume jumped by 32.36%. This significant surge in volume can be seen as a sign of participation from whales and investors.
Examining the current scenario and growing interest from whales, PEPE may present a promising opportunity to add to the holdings.
