PEPE Volume Soars 283% in 24 Hours: Is Memecoin Mania Returning?

Published at 2026-02-15 12:15:16

PEPE’s on-chain and exchange activity exploded in the last 24 hours with volume up 283%, signaling a fresh wave of demand for memecoins as investors hunt higher-beta returns. The move has drawn attention from retail traders and liquidity providers alike, suggesting momentum-driven flows are once again reshaping short-term market dynamics.

While renewed memecoin interest can fuel rapid gains, it also heightens downside risk if flows reverse. Market participants should watch whether volume is sustained, price follow-through occurs, and whether stablecoin inflows remain steady — these are the clearest signs the rally has broader legs. For now, the surge is a reminder that risk-on appetite can return quickly, but so can sharp drawdowns when sentiment shifts.
