Pepecoin Gains Worldwide Trading Access

Pepecoin ($PEP), the community-driven Layer 1 blockchain blending internet meme culture with serious blockchain technology, has announced major progress in its development, mining ecosystem, and global accessibility, solidifying its position as one of the most unique and resilient projects in the cryptocurrency space.

Importantly, Pepecoin ($PEP) is not the ERC-20 Pepe token found on Ethereum. This project is a fully independent blockchain with its own network, consensus, and mining infrastructure—offering real utility, decentralization, and long-term sustainability far beyond the scope of typical meme tokens.

From Meme to Mainnet: Pepecoin’s Distinct Identity

In a landscape dominated by ERC-20 meme tokens and speculative hype, Pepecoin stands apart as a fully sovereign Layer 1 blockchain built using the Scrypt algorithm. It is not a derivative token on another chain, but a standalone network delivering genuine infrastructure, scalability, and resilience.

Since its fair launch, Pepecoin has maintained a no pre-mine, no venture capital, and no insider wallet policy. Every coin in circulation has been mined fairly, with no single wallet holding more than 5% of the supply. This transparent launch model has been a key driver in attracting a loyal, engaged, and grassroots community.

Merged Mining for Maximum Security

Pepecoin leverages merged mining with Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), allowing miners to secure the Pepecoin network while simultaneously mining two of the largest proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. This approach significantly boosts network hash power, enhances security, and lowers barriers for miners looking to diversify without additional hardware.

“This is more than a meme,” said a Pepecoin core contributor. “By integrating merged mining, we’ve ensured that Pepecoin benefits from the hash power of two of the strongest Scrypt-based networks in the world. This creates a level of stability and resilience rarely seen in newer blockchains.”

Dogecoin-Style Block Rewards

After completing its scheduled reward reductions, Pepecoin has entered a perpetual issuance model with 10,000 PEP per block—mirroring Dogecoin’s long-term reward structure. This ensures a steady supply for miners, ongoing network security, and reliable liquidity for exchanges and users, without sudden drops in incentives.

Breaking into the Global Stage with Major CEX Listings

Pepecoin has officially secured listings on Biconomy, AscendEX, and XT.com, granting global access to millions of traders and investors worldwide. These partnerships represent a breakthrough moment for the project, enabling users across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond to easily acquire and trade $PEP without navigating complex on-chain purchase methods.

The addition of these prominent centralized exchanges complements Pepecoin’s existing listings on MEXC, CoinEx, and Bit—significantly expanding liquidity, visibility, and market reach.

“This is a huge step forward for our mission,” commented a community spokesperson. “By securing these global exchange listings, we’ve ensured that Pepecoin is accessible to the world, not just early adopters or niche mining communities. Anyone, anywhere, can now join the movement.”

Community-Centric Development

The Pepecoin ethos is rooted in decentralization and transparency. The project is entirely open-source, with governance driven by community input rather than corporate boards. Its active presence on Reddit, Discord, and Twitter ensures that development decisions remain in sync with the holders and miners who sustain the network.

Recent community-led initiatives include:

Tipping Bots: Enabling $PEP tipping on Reddit and Discord, driving microtransactions and social engagement.

Wallet Integrations & Hardware wallet support through Tangem, plus desktop and mobile wallet updates.

Merchant Accessibility & Partnerships with payment providers like Alchemy Pay to allow direct purchases with fiat.

A Cultural and Technical Statement

While Pepecoin embraces the humor and relatability of meme culture, its technical foundation reflects serious intent. In an industry where many meme projects fade quickly, Pepecoin has committed to real blockchain infrastructure, sustainable tokenomics, and community-driven innovation.

“Pepecoin is proof that a meme can be more than a joke,” said a long-time community member. “It’s an example of how internet culture, when combined with real blockchain utility, can create something enduring.”

About Pepecoin ($PEP)

Pepecoin is a Layer 1 blockchain powered by the Scrypt algorithm, merge-mined with Litecoin and Dogecoin, and driven by a vibrant, decentralized community. It is not the Ethereum-based Pepe token, but an independent blockchain with its own network, consensus, and mining infrastructure. Fair-launched with no pre-mine or VC funding, Pepecoin blends the fun of meme culture with the resilience of serious blockchain technology. With a permanent block reward of 10,000 PEP, it follows a Dogecoin-inspired model for long-term sustainability.
