Pepe (PEPE)

The Coin Named After the U.S. President Has Lost More Than Half Its Value Since a War His Administration Is Overseeing Began, Ironic, to Say the Least.

Here's how meme coins have moved since the Iran-U.S. war started on February 28, 2026:

$PEPE: +42.1%
$SPX: +12.6%
$SHIB: +4.3%
$PENGU: -8.8%
$DOGE: -21.7%
$FLOKI: -24.3%
$M (MemeCore): -31.4%
$BONK: -49.2%
$TRUMP: -57.6%

$TRUMP is the single worst performer on this entire list, down nearly 58% during a period defined by the exact geopolitical crisis his name is now tied to in the public conversation.

$PEPE and $SPX both managed to stay green through a period where most of the meme sector bled out, with $BONK and $FLOKI among the hardest hit alongside $TRUMP.

When the coin bearing the sitting president's name is the worst performer in its own category during a war under his watch, that's a headline the ticker probably didn't want.

Whale 0x9c7E is aggressively buying $PEPE! Over the past 30 minutes, he spent 3.2M $USDC to buy 2.41T $PEPE at an average price of $0.00000133. He now holds 5.8T $PEPE, up $940K.
