How the week compares with the month
Most of the month's gain came before September. The price went from $0.00000285 on August 9 to $0.00000355 on September 1, a rise of about 25%. The last week added under 2%. Volume also fell, from about $254 million on September 1 to about $208 million on September 8. In short, the rally slowed during the week.
Since then
As of October 25, 2026, CoinGecko lists PEPE at about $0.0000044, with a market capitalisation of about $1.86 billion. That is about 84% below the all-time high.
What PEPE is
- Chain and contract. PEPE is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Its contract is
0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933, with 18 decimals (Etherscan). CoinGecko also lists versions on BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche and Arbitrum. - Supply. Etherscan shows a maximum total supply of about 420.69 trillion tokens. CoinGecko reports the same number for circulating, total and maximum supply. In other words, essentially all the tokens already exist, and there is no unlock schedule that could add more.
- Launch. PEPE launched in April 2023 and is based on the Pepe the Frog meme (CoinGecko).
- Fees. CoinGecko's project description says there are no fees on buying or selling the token.
- Holders. Etherscan shows about 597,600 holder addresses on Ethereum, as of October 25, 2026. An address is not the same as a person: one holder can control many addresses, and one exchange address can hold tokens for many users.
Since the supply is fixed, changes in market capitalisation come almost entirely from changes in price. More tokens are not entering the market.

What a funding rate on PEPE perpetuals tells you
Perpetual futures never expire. On a dated futures contract, the price is pulled back to spot at expiry. A perpetual has no expiry, so it uses periodic funding payments between longs and shorts to stay close to spot. He, Manela, Ross and von Wachter describe this in Fundamentals of Perpetual Futures: long holders pay short holders a funding rate proportional to the gap between the perpetual price and the spot price.
Here is how to read the rate:
- Positive funding. The perpetual is trading above spot. Longs pay shorts, which means holding a leveraged long costs money every funding period.
- Negative funding. The perpetual is trading below spot. Shorts pay longs.
- Size matters. Funding is charged on the full position size, not on the margin you posted. With leverage, a small rate can take a large share of your margin over weeks.
The same paper finds that perpetual prices drift from their no-arbitrage values more than prices do in traditional currency markets. For small, thinly traded perpetual markets, funding and open interest from one venue tell you little about the overall market for the token.
