Starting April 18, PEPE futures trading on Coinbase International and Coinbase Pro platforms is now accessible.

Coinbase announcement
In the midst of recent market updates, PEPE experienced a significant surge in value, amounting to approximately 10% increase based on CoinMarketCap data. Over the past day, PEPE‘s price climbed by around 6.5%, settling at $0.0000074.
Before now, Coinbase expressed hesitance over adding PEPE due to its connection to offensive symbols. But the announcement to offer PEPE futures suggests a change in stance, possibly driven by strong market interest and the popularity of meme coins.
PEPE is the fourth largest meme coin with a market value of $3 billion. The buzz surrounding meme coins, including PEPE‘s popularity as a significant Ethereum (ETH) token, may have prompted Coinbase to consider offering PEPE futures trading.
PEPE’s value experienced a remarkable jump of 350% within a week at the start of March, placing it as the third largest meme coin in terms of market capitalization. This impressive growth represents a staggering 600% increase over the past month. The recent trend of substantial purchases and sales signifies a strong sense of “Extreme Greed” among PEPE investors, indicating their high level of enthusiasm for this asset.
