PEPE, WOJAK Ethereum Memecoins Rally—But At What Cost?

PEPE, a new Ethereum-based token, has seen a rapid rise in market capitalization, with WOJAK following suit. Speculators have seen astronomical profits, but the success of memecoins has a mixed effect on the digital asset space. Memecoins make crypto more accessible, but also reinforce the idea that the industry's only use case is gambling.
