</figure><p>Launched in April 2023 by anonymous creators, Pepe has quickly become one of the top traded cryptocurrencies without a presale, airdrop or a marketing muscle.</p><p>Pepe the Frog is a cartoon character crafted by artist Matt Furie for his comic book "Boy’s Club". $PEPE has no association with Matt Furie or his creation Pepe the Frog.</p><p>In contrast to the <a href="https://www.coinjar.com/buy/dogecoin?ref=blog.coinjar.com">DOGE</a> and <a href="https://www.coinjar.com/buy/shiba-inu?ref=blog.coinjar.com">SHIB</a> memecoins, which took almost four years and 10 months for its market capitalisation to surpass $1 billion, Pepe reached the same milestone within three weeks of its launch. The price of $PEPE has been highly volatile since then.</p><p>While Pepe is a very, very expensive crypto in-joke, with <a href="https://www.coinjar.com/card?ref=blog.coinjar.com">CoinJar Card,</a> you can nominate Pepe as your spend account and use it for in-store and online purchases everywhere Mastercard is accepted. And really, is there any better conversation starter than telling a mate you just bought them coffee with Pepe?</p><p>Pepe won’t initially be available for purchase through CoinJar Bundles or on CoinJar Exchange, but will be added in the near future.</p><p><strong>Please note that PEPE tokens are “jokes”, with no real purpose. They have a tendency to be extremely volatile and it is possible that you may lose money in the long term.</strong></p><p><strong>Cryptocurrencies are complex and unregulated in the UK.
