Meme coins Pepe (PEPE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are among the market’s biggest bulls in the past week, with both tokens soaring double digits over the span.
PEPE is currently up 22.5% on the week, changing hands at $0.00000142, according to data provided by CoinGecko.
The asset is also up 6.9% over the past 24 hours, hitting a three-week high on Monday morning.
PEPE’s market capitalization, which now stands at just below $600 million, grew by almost $150 million over the week, helping the meme coin to jump to the 71st position in the rankings.
