Coinbase has officially announced that Pepe Coin (PEPE), a well-known meme cryptocurrency, will be listed on its platform starting today, according to Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal.
He teased the announcement on X, saying, “You’ve been waiting for the frog, and now it’s here.”
Interestingly, the announcement came just after Robinhood, another prominent U.S. trading platform, revealed its own plans to list PEPE.
Although PEPE supporters have been calling for its addition to Coinbase for over 18 months, Coinbase’s move follows closely on the heels of Robinhood’s decision.
The double announcement has already impacted PEPE’s value significantly. Within just an hour, the token surged by 47.8%, reflecting heightened excitement around these listings.
