Pepe (PEPE) is trading at 0.00001248, down nearly 4% on Wednesday. The frog-themed meme coin noted consistent profit-taking by traders in the past ten days.
Consistent profit-taking typically increases selling pressure on an asset and is likely to push the price lower. On-chain data trackers observed a spike in PEPE deposits to centralized exchanges, contributing to the rising selling pressure.
PEPE holders’ profit-taking and exchange deposits could push prices lower
The frog-themed meme coin has noted a spike in profit-taking by holders in the past ten days. Data from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment shows that between June 15 and 25, PEPE holders realized over $18 million in profits.
Despite massive profit-taking, the meme coin has sustained seven-day gains of 14.31%.

PEPE network realized profit/loss vs price
Data from Spotonchain shows that whale wallet “0x387” transferred 1.1 trillion PEPE tokens worth $14.2 million to Binance, a centralized exchange address “0x0b1.” Analysts at Spotonchain suspect that the tokens are likely to be sold, or “offloaded” by the whale.
The whale wallet has another $3.78 million or 300 billion PEPE left, and the estimated total loss of the address is $1.7 million.
In the past hour, whale "0x837" transferred 1.1T $PEPE ($14.2M) to the #Binance deposit address "0x0b1". Watch out if this will soon be unloaded to the CEX.
