This is not the first time this trader is making gains with its PEPE trades. According to <a href="https://x.com/spotonchain/status/1866027717940167082" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SpotOnChain</a>, "This appears to be their second PEPE win." Back in May, they executed another impressive trade, netting an estimated $1.23 million profit, a 75.5% increase, using a different wallet.
<a href="https://u.today/pepe-whale-inflow-skyrockets-4479-in-24-hours-whats-next" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE's price</a> has risen in recent months, attracting traders and investors eager to capitalize on its potential. Lookonchain reveals that two wallets, most likely belonging to the same whale, spent 4.89 million USDC to buy 190.14 billion PEPE at an average price of $0.00002572.

The broader crypto market is currently facing a sell-off, with BTC trading slightly below $99,000 and down 0.39% in the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin's lackluster price action coincided with a larger cryptocurrency market sell-off as some traders looked for indications ahead of the Fed's policy meeting this week to establish positioning. XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano and Tron lead the majors in losses, falling 6% each. Polygon, Vechain, Gala and Worldcoin all showed losses ranging from 7% to 11%.
Interestingly, <a href="https://u.today/pepe-skyrockets-109-in-activity-metric-as-whales-react-to-new-listings" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE</a> remained in the green, rising 2.72% in the last 24 hours to $0.00002516 and 24% weekly.
In the past week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the central bank might proceed cautiously with rate cuts, given the strong economy. In remarks Friday, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack noted the strong growth but said she needed further proof that inflation is convincingly approaching the Fed's 2% target. Hammack urged the Fed to slow its pace of rate cuts.
Traders are estimating the probability of a rate decrease at the Fed's policy meeting on Dec. 17-18 at 85%, up from an earlier rate decrease of less than 70%. <a href="https://u.today/121-billion-pepe-stun-binance-whats-happening" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
