The world's largest crypto exchange by volume has just added two more meme coins to the casino.
Binance today announced it would list both Pepecoin (PEPE) and Floki Inu (FLOKI) in the platform's so-called innovation zone.
To enter, traders must first answer two questions correctly regarding how much money they could lose trading in this zone (more or less than 50%?) and whose fault it would be if they do indeed face a "total loss" of funds.
FLOKI has since soared 57% and PEPE has risen another 77%, pushing the frog-inspired token's market capitalization across the $1 billion mark. Still, both coins trade at far less than a penny, at press time.
A friend of mine who is a school administrator in Connecticut, and knows nothing about crypto, has been asking me for months what coins she should buy. I gave her my usual disclaimers: I don't dispense investment advice; do your own research (read Decrypt!); only invest what you can afford to lose. And I told her that Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only coins I believe with certainty will still exist in 10 years. That doesn't mean other coins won't succeed—many will—only that I'm confident those...
The exchange has also provided another word of warning for prospective traders. "Please note that, as of the time of writing, PEPE has no token utility or value support mechanism," reads the listing note on Binance. "Also, there are signs that certain insiders or team members were able to buy 7% of the total token supply minutes after TGE [Token Generation Event]."
Trading for these two tokens kicks off today at 12pm ET. Interested parties can also trade both meme coins on margin against Tether's dollar-pegged stablecoin.
PEPE is the latest meme coin to soar in value and capture the crypto industry's attention. It's based on the artist Matt Furie's Pepe the Frog.
Over the past week, the token has risen by a whopping 1,000%, per Coingecko. It's now the 45th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, overtaking Fantom's native FTM token as well as The Sandbox's SAND token.
Meme coin mania hasn't slowed down: Pepe (PEPE), a new token which launched a little over two weeks ago, just hit an all-time high. The new cryptocurrency at around 5.45am Eastern Time today touched $0.00000168, according to CoinGecko. It has since dropped and is now trading for $0.00000166—but is still up nearly 75% in the past 24 hours. Despite the crypto market being in a long and brutal bear market, traders still have an appetite for risk, it seems. And there is nothing more risky than meme...
Besides its meteoric price rise, the flurry of speculation has also sent gas fees on Ethereum soaring to 1-year highs.

Trump Media & Technology Group’s social media platform, Truth Social, denied reports on Tuesday that it is planning a meme coin, following online speculation that a launch was imminent. "There’s no truth whatsoever about Truth Social launching a meme coin. Don’t be fooled by false information people are circulating," Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., posted on X. The denial came after crypto trader Ran Neuner claimed in a now widely shared post that Truth Social would roll out a meme...
New York Mayor Eric Adams announced the city’s first official crypto summit on Monday, while reaffirming his goal to make New York “the crypto capital of the globe.” New York will host a major crypto summit on May 20, just two months after former U.S. President Donald Trump held a similar event at the White House. At a press conference on Monday, Mayor Eric Adams promoted the city’s growing blockchain sector, joined by Figure Firm co-founder June Ou and Traction and Scale CEO Richard Hecker. Ada...
The biggest holders of President Trump’s meme coin, who qualified for access to a private reception and dinner with the U.S. leader, held an average of nearly $4.8 million worth of TRUMP apiece to earn their spots via an official leaderboard ranking. Placements were calculated using a time-weighted average of TRUMP holdings between April 23 and May 12, providing a score that was ultimately used to rank registered users. The top 25 finishers were granted “VIP” status, with extra benefits, while a...
