Yassin Mobarak (Founder of Dizer Capital)

Yassin Mobarak, the founder of private equity firm Dizer Capital, also called PEPE a scam. Mobarak called Pepe token a trojan horse designed to further blow up the crypto market, just like the crypto exchange FTX.

He stressed that the playbook of projects like Pepe usually follows a similar pattern. The steps include introducing a scam project, pumping it until it attracts gullible investors, blowing it up and blaming crypto for being dangerous, using the incident to suffocate the entire industry, and rinse and repeat.”

Digital Asset Investor

Furthermore, prominent XRP influencer and YouTuber Digital Asset Investor asked why the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is not investigating projects like Pepe.

“I often wonder if some of these meme coins are engineered by the government to keep the focus on the shady side of crypto,” Digital Asset Investor noted.

The team behind Digital Asset Investor’s official Twitter account made the remark in response to Pepe-related stats shared by famous XRP influencer Mr. Huber (@Leerzeit).

The influencer noted that despite launching less than one month ago, Pepe has more trading volumes than top crypto assets like XRP, Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), Quant (QNT), and Hedera (HBAR).

Pepe Feats

For context, Pepe was launched on April 16, 2023, by an anonymous user. Unlike most tokens, Pepe did not have a pre-sale. Since its launch, Pepe has surged 6,140% from its all-time low of $0.00000002764, according to CoinMarketCap data. At the time of writing, Pepe is trading at $0.000001706.

Despite launching less than a month ago, Pepe is ranked as the third-largest meme-based coin with a market cap of $667.6 million. The token is only behind Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin in the biggest meme coin ranking.

Pepe’s tremendous rise to fame has attracted the interest of top crypto exchanges. Top exchanges, including Binance, KuCoin, etc., have listed the token amid its growing popularity.
