But what is the reason for the sudden price pump? Let us look at some of the possible reasons.

PEPE hits $10 billion market cap

Pepe has also breached the $11 billion market cap. One of the possible reasons for this surge is Ethereum’s (ETH) recent price performance.

ETH had reclaimed the $4,000 level on Dec 6, a level that was seen in March. This breach of the crucial $4,000 milestone has aided the Ethereum ecosystem tokens, including Pepe.

Moreover, the open interest of PEPE has a new high of $356.79 million as per Coinglass data. This metric has seen a 30% hike in the last 24 hours.
