PEPE Trading Volume Surpasses DOGE, SHIB: Market Analysis

Crypto enthusiast Lark Davis recently highlighted on X that PEPE has outpaced both Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) in daily trading volume. However, DOGE’s market cap remains nearly five times larger than PEPE’s. This discrepancy raises questions about PEPE’s valuation compared to its meme coin counterparts.
