Coinbase Apology

On May 10, 2023, Coinbase published a newsletter that described the Pepe the Frog meme as having been “co-opted as a hate symbol by alt-right groups.” This description angered many Pepe fans, who argued that the meme is not inherently racist or hateful. Pepe supporters called for a boycott of Coinbase and the hashtag #deletecoinbase became a trending topic with more than 180,000 tweets. [9]

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal apologized to the Pepe community on May 11, 2023, one day after the controversy began in a tweet:

We screwed up and we are sorry. Yesterday we shared an overview of the $pepe meme coin to provide a fact-based picture of a trending topic. This did not provide the whole picture of the history of the meme and we apologize to the community. [11]

The history of the Pepe the Frog meme began with Matt Furie creating a cartoon frog character named Pepe in 2005. In 2008, the meme became popular on sites including Myspace, Gaia Online, and 4chanThe meme. In 2015 and 2016 the meme was also co-opted by some white supremacist and alt-right groups, who used it to spread racist and hateful messages. However, Furie, the creator of the meme, condemned the meme as a hate symbol and successfully sued hate groups who used the meme. In 2019, Pepe was used by protesters in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests without any connection to the alt-right. [8]

Tokenomics

The token has a total supply of 420,690,000,000,000. 93.1% of the tokens were sent to an ETH-PEPE liquidity pool on , LP tokens were burnt, and the contract was renounced. The remaining 6.9% of the supply is being held in a multi-sig team wallet only to be used as tokens for future centralized exchange listings, bridges, and liquidity pools. This wallet is trackable under the “pepecexwallet.eth”. [1]

16 Trillion $PEPE Theft

In August 2023, three ex-team members, acting as rogue developers, stole funds from the Pepe multisig wallet. They misappropriated 16 trillion $PEPE tokens, which were valued at $15 million. This unexpected breach caused turmoil within the PEPE community. [16][19]

The tokens were illicitly transferred to several crypto exchanges, including , , , and Bybit, before being sold. As a result, the value of the frog-themed PEPE tokens experienced a nearly 20% decline. [16]

In response, someone with access to the project’s official X account posted an explanation for the mysterious transfers. Presumably, the explanation was intended to reassure project community members that all was well. The post had the opposite effect, however, and ended up raising even more concerns. [17]

“I have been in negotiation with the owners of some web domains and usernames that I am looking into acquiring for PEPE, and when I am complete with any of these prospective purchases or donations of PEPE from the multi-sig, I will the remainder of these multi-sig tokens,” the poster said. [18]

In October 2023, the official Pepe Coin X account shared that a new team of advisors would guide the project forward. The post began with an announcement that 6.9 trillion $PEPE tokens worth approximately $6,000,000 had been burned and permanently removed from the project’s supply. [17]
