Pepe the Frog is a humanoid frog cartoon character created by Matt Furie in 2005. It originated in Furie's comic "Boy's Club" and became a popular internet meme, often used in various forms such as "Sad Frog," "Smug Frog," and "Feels Frog." Pepe was initially apolitical but was later associated with the alt-right movement, leading to its inclusion in the Anti-Defamation League's hate symbol database. Despite this, Pepe has also been used as a symbol of resistance and liberty, such as during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. The character has been the basis for various digital trading cards and even a cryptocurrency called PepeCoin (PEPE), launched in 2023.
Pepe (PEPE) is used primarily for collectability, trading, and speculation. It is an Ethereum-based memecoin that was launched in April 2023 without any association with its original creator, Matt Furie. The token has no functional use beyond these simple purposes, with a total supply of 420,690,000,000,000 tokens. It can be traded on both centralized and decentralized finance platforms, including Uniswap liquidity pools.
