Crypto bulls have propelled Bitcoin (BTC) to new highs this month, with traders eyeing a potential run back to its near-$109,000 record from January. JPMorgan’s analysts recently commented on how Bitcoin could outperform gold in the latter half of 2025, as institutional buyers pivot toward crypto in anticipation of continued monetary policy shifts.
Meanwhile, the meme coin market has held firmly above the $70 billion mark, fueled by a wave of bullish developments. Leading canine-themed tokens such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are posting double-digit monthly gains. However, Pepe (PEPE) has stood out from the pack with a 75% rally over the past 30 days.
The total market cap of meme coins surged around 40% in April, keeping pace with the broader AI-driven token sector, which saw a similar uptrend during the this period. Against this backdrop, many are wondering just how far PEPE’s price could run in 2025, and whether the brand-new AI-powered meme coin MIND of Pepe (MIND) could become the next big winner after raising $9.5 million in record time.

PEPE is trading around $0.000012, up roughly 75% in the past month. These gains have helped PEPE rebound sharply after retreating more than 80% from its all-time high (ATH) of $0.00002836 in December 2024, reclaiming a large part of its earlier losses.
On May 12, PEPE spiked to $0.0000154, marking its highest price since January and a massive 180% surge from this year’s lows.
Although these gains have cooled slightly, PEPE remains in a longer-term uptrend. It currently sits about 54% below its ATH, leaving room for further upside if the meme coin’s current momentum continues.
A major whale investor has also been aggressively accumulating PEPE. According to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain, the whale recently withdrew 420 billion PEPE (around $5.39 million) from Binance, boosting their total PEPE holdings to 2.21 trillion tokens (worth $29.28 million) in just two days.

Interestingly, the whale wallet had been dormant for nearly two years before making these huge moves, suggesting a new surge of confidence in the token’s prospects.
Traders are now closely watching for a decisive break above the $0.000014 resistance level, which could open the door to $0.000017. Many speculate that clearing that price ceiling might trigger FOMO from latecomers.
Looking at the recent price moves, popular crypto commentator CryptoElites has set a target of 40x gains after highlighting PEPE’s 150% jump from their initial entry. Whether that’s realistic depends on the broader market mood, and whether PEPE can sustain enough trading volume to keep whales from dumping.
Meanwhile, as investors foresee the potential of AI-driven meme coins, they’re betting big on projects like MIND of Pepe, which is currently in the final stage of its presale.
As the popularity of the iconic Pepe meme continues to gain mainstream attention, MIND of Pepe (MIND) seeks to evolve it by integrating cutting-edge AI with real-world utility. This idea has resonated with veteran investors, helping MIND of Pepe to raise $9.5 million in its presale—with just 12 days left until the official token launch.
MIND of Pepe has built a crypto AI agent to spot lucrative trading opportunities, analyze on-chain social data, and even create new tokens if it detects a profitable meme coin trend. Essentially, it’s a 24/7 digital scout for the next big move in crypto markets, all powered by the MIND token.
The team rolled out a live version of its AI agent on May 10, letting potential investors see the tech firsthand. This AI will actively monitor X, Discord, on-chain wallets, and more to identify meme-driven narratives as they form.
According to the development team, MIND’s agent will eventually be able to automatically deploy new tokens based on promising trends, effectively creating new meme coins when opportunity strikes. MIND token holders will get exclusive early access to any tokens launched by the AI, giving them a ground-floor entry point.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that savvy investors are scouring for meme coins that offer more than hype—especially ones tapping into the massive AI agent market, which is expected to reach $52 billion by 2030. This is why whales are already stockpiling MIND tokens, with an individual wallet buying MIND worth 70 ETH (over $160,000) in a single transaction a few days ago.
MIND is currently priced at $0.0037515 for presale buyers, but the window for buying these tokens will close on May 31. Buyers can also immediately stake MIND tokens for up to 238% APY, earning passive rewards even before the token lists on exchanges.
