Why Is PepeX Trending? New Crypto Going Viral On Pump.fun’s Collapse

After the cult-like obsession for meme coins that defined the end of 2024, this year in crypto has seen growing tension as investors look for the next big opportunity.
PepeX aims to capitalize on that tension by taking pump.fun head on in a dominant move that looks set to checkmate the world’s most infamous launchpad.
Combining AI with viral hype and degen branding hearkening back to every crypto bro’s fond memories, PepeX delivers everything pump.fun can’t.
Tackling the issues around internal sniping, dirty rugs, and sneaky developer tricks, this could well take the brakes off the momentum we’ve seen in the meme coin market, and trigger an entirely new run that might snowball as PepeX’s platform launches in Q3.
With a tight 90-day presale launching on the 24th of March and running until the 24th June, at which point the token will list on numerous exchanges, the window will shortly open for investors to get a slice of a pie that made pump.fun a $4 billion giant.
Why does PepeX stand out?
Launchpads aren’t a new thing, and there have been quite a few copycats over the last year (we’re looking at you daos.fun) but none have so directly tackled the issues plaguing the industry as PepeX’s plans.
The immediate appeal lies in its simplicity.
One – suddenly, anyone (literally anyone) can prompt its AI to launch a token. It then magics the smart contract generation, scheduled in the platform listing, and automates bonding onto DEX for those that succeed within 72 hours.
Within that period, it employs anti-sniping measures to keep 95% of launched tokens’ supply in the hands of the community, whilst aggressively penalizing founders who break the rules and redistributing their share back to holders.
Two – it generates AI bots that founders can connect to their Telegram and Twitter accounts, and which will quite literally manage all the project’s marketing and community on autopilot.
This of course eliminates the need for extensive marketing teams and levels up the playing field for new entrants to the market, instead of making successful token launches accessible only to cabals.
For those who love technical details, check out PepeX’s whitepaper or sign up to any of the AMAs. There’s nothing quite so pleasurable as grilling a dev – we highly recommend trying it out for yourself.
The bottom line? Launching a token—and driving it to a billion-dollar market cap—has never been this easy. This is the kind of zero-to-one change that the crypto market salivates over.
Is PepeX worth buying?
Put it this way. If pump.fun had launched a token in mid-2024, would you have bought it?
Crypto investing is volatile and this is what makes this an interesting opportunity. The market is greedy for a solution for actual fair launches, and PepeX.fun looks like the perfect balance between a money-making machine and the kind of utility that will excite HODLers.
The upside for the Q3 launch could see potentially enormous gains—the platform takes flight just in time for the meme market’s next leg up, with a sector-wide 10x predicted after June rate cuts. This would be further compounded for presale investors who buy early, and will already be over 300% up by the time of listing.
Stage 1 prices start at a reasonable $0.02 and end at $0.0823 for those who miss out on the initial launch. Looking at the performance of a similar token, that of Virtuals Protocol, there was an evident breakout as the project gained momentum that saw a staggering 6800% price hike in Q3.
A huge Q3 hike? History could repeat itself but let’s wait and see. Everything will be dependent on adoption. If PepeX.fun can hit the ground running and make its user experience seamless and do what it says on the tin, we could be in for a rip.
Tokens will be available to buy on the pepex.fun website from the 24th of March.

SEC vs Ripple: How Lawsuit Over XRP Could Wrap up in Days
A legal expert has outlined how the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple over XRP could end within days, but a major hurdle—navigating the court’s injunction—may complicate the resolution.
SEC vs Ripple: How Lawsuit Over XRP Could Wrap up in Days
Ripple’s Legal Battle With SEC Over XRP Could Be Over in Days—If This Condition Is Met
Legal expert Jeremy Hogan has weighed in on speculation surrounding the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple, suggesting that a private settlement may be the quickest resolution. His comments came in response to Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, who reported that sources indicated the case was “in the process of wrapping up and could be over soon.”
Hogan outlined the conditions necessary for a swift resolution:
The only way the case could ‘be over’ soon is if Ripple and the SEC reach a private settlement agreement (which would vary from the judgment), dismiss the appeal, and then simply never take the terms of the settlement agreement back to the trial court to be ratified.
However, he noted a major challenge, specifically the court’s injunction against Ripple. “Assuming the injunction is the sticking point, the SEC would have to agree not to enforce the court’s injunction. I have a hard time believing the SEC would agree to that, but possibly it could agree to something more oblique such as providing Ripple a path to actually register sales of XRP to institutional investors (for example). Meaning, Ripple could get what it needs, while the SEC doesn’t blatantly snub the court’s order. Meaning, it can be done,” he opined.
Another lawyer, James Murphy, recently suggested that Ripple might be the reason for the delay, as it pushes for better settlement terms, including vacating parts of Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling. He speculated that while the SEC might be willing to settle with a $125 million penalty, Ripple could be negotiating to remove some of the more restrictive aspects of the court’s decision. His view aligns with Terrett’s reporting that Ripple’s legal team is working to avoid accepting terms that could be seen as an admission of wrongdoing.
If Ripple and the SEC reach a deal, it would bring an end to a legal battle that has lasted multiple years, shaping both the crypto industry and regulatory policy. Hogan emphasized that a settlement remains the most likely way to conclude the case soon, stating:
This is the only way I can see the case resolving anytime in the next couple days or weeks.
Hogan noted that this “would apparently be consistent” with what Terrett is reporting, which is “settlement agreement.” With no established precedent for this situation, it remains uncertain whether negotiations will conclude swiftly or continue to drag on, but the outcome could set a significant precedent for future SEC enforcement actions in the crypto space.
XRP Price Watch: Market Trends Suggest Potential for Volatility Ahead
As of March 16, 2025, XRP is trading at $2.28, reflecting a market capitalization of $132 billion. Over the past 24 hours, XRP’s trading volume reached $2.76 billion, with intraday prices fluctuating between $2.28 and $2.43. Currently, XRP is down 32.8% from its all-time high of $3.40.

XRP
On the 1-hour chart, XRP exhibits a consolidation pattern characterized by tight price movements between $2.27 and $2.44. This range-bound behavior suggests a temporary equilibrium between buying and selling pressures. The relative strength index (RSI) indicates a neutral stance, hovering around the 50 mark, implying neither overbought nor oversold conditions. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) displays a flat trajectory, with the MACD line intersecting the signal line, signaling a lack of strong momentum in either direction.

Examining the 4-hour chart, XRP demonstrates a gradual upward trend from its recent low of $2.17. The ascending channel formation indicates a potential bullish continuation if the price sustains above the lower trendline support. The RSI on this timeframe is positioned at approximately 55, suggesting mild bullish momentum without reaching overbought territory. The MACD shows a slight divergence above the signal line, reinforcing the possibility of continued upward movement.

On the daily chart, XRP’s price action reflects a broader consolidation phase following its peak at $3.40. The current price level near $2.28 aligns with a significant support zone, previously acting as resistance during earlier price rallies. The RSI on the daily timeframe resides around 48, indicating a neutral stance with potential for future directional moves. The MACD remains above the zero line but exhibits a narrowing histogram, suggesting diminishing bullish momentum and the need for caution.

In terms of oscillators, the Stochastic oscillator reveals a %K line crossing above the %D line on both the 4-hour and daily charts, hinting at potential bullish reversals from oversold conditions. The average directional index (ADX) registers below 25 across multiple timeframes, indicating a weak trend strength and the likelihood of continued sideways movement until a decisive breakout occurs.
Regarding moving averages (MAs), the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart has recently crossed above the 200-period SMA, forming a bullish golden cross pattern. This crossover often signifies a potential shift towards upward momentum. On the daily chart, however, the 50-day SMA remains below the 200-day SMA, reflecting a longer-term bearish outlook that requires further validation through sustained price appreciation.
In summary, XRP’s technical indicators present a mixed picture, with short-term bullish signals tempered by longer-term uncertainties. Traders should monitor key support and resistance levels, alongside oscillator readings and moving average crossovers, to gauge potential price movements in the coming sessions.
Bull Verdict:
XRP’s technical indicators suggest the potential for a bullish breakout if the price holds above key support levels. The bullish crossover of the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) over the 200-period SMA on the 4-hour chart, combined with improving momentum on oscillators like the stochastic oscillator, indicates growing buying interest. If volume supports an upward move, XRP could challenge resistance levels near $2.50 and potentially aim for higher targets in the short term.
Bear Verdict:
Despite short-term bullish signals, XRP remains below its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) on the daily chart, signaling a longer-term bearish trend. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is showing weakening momentum, and the average directional index (ADX) indicates a lack of strong trend strength. If support at $2.28 fails to hold, XRP could retest lower levels near $2.15 or even $2.00, extending its corrective phase.
Is Kim Jong Stacking Sats? North Korea’s Bitcoin Haul Outranks El Salvador, Bhutan as US SBR Takes Shape
As the U.S. gears up to launch a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), spurred by President Trump’s Executive Order, North Korea has slyly vaulted into the top three global holders of bitcoin. This shift comes amid suspicions that a hacking syndicate—suspected to be orchestrated by the North Korean government—has been funneling illicit gains into BTC, turning digital heists into a shadowy national savings account.
Is Kim Jong Stacking Sats? North Korea’s Bitcoin Haul Outranks El Salvador, Bhutan as US SBR Takes Shape
North Korea’s Climb to Third Largest Government Bitcoin Holder
North Korea has quietly climbed the ranks to become a top government holder of bitcoin ( BTC), thanks to the antics of the Lazarus Group, a hacking collective tied to the state. On Feb. 21, 2025, the group pulled off a jaw-dropping heist at Bybit, stealing over $1.4 billion in crypto—mostly ethereum—and later swapping a chunk of it into BTC. Data from Arkham Intelligence reveals the syndicate now sits on 13,562 BTC, worth a cool $1.14 billion, turning the cybercrime into a national piggy bank.
Is Kim Jong Stacking Sats? North Korea’s Bitcoin Haul Outranks El Salvador, Bhutan as US SBR Takes Shape
Lazarus Group BTC stash on March 16, 2025, according to Arkham Intelligence.
Pyongyang’s crypto stash started growing long before the U.S. floated its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) idea. Yet, in a twist of timing, the buildup accelerated just days before President Trump teased the SBR on Sunday, March 2, 2025. He made it official by signing the Executive Order (EO) on Thursday, March 6, 2025, adding a dash of geopolitical intrigue to the digital currency drama. Arkham reports the U.S. sits pretty with 198,109 BTC—a significant $16.71 billion—making it the largest government holder of bitcoin ( BTC).
The United Kingdom claims the silver medal with 61,245 BTC (roughly $5.17 billion). While the U.K. hasn’t hinted at launching its own SBR, it’s stacked up crypto spoils through criminal seizures, giving it a hefty stake in the top digital asset. This slots North Korea right behind Britain but ahead of Bhutan and El Salvador’s bitcoin caches. Bhutan’s stash, managed by Druk Holdings, clocks in at 10,635 BTC ($897.60 million). Meanwhile, El Salvador’s bitcoin stash totals 6,117 BTC, now valued at $516.11 million.
The timing of North Korea’s crypto climb—just as the U.S. unveiled its SBR—sparks curiosity. Could Kim Jong Un be angling for a seat at the digital gold rush, blending cyber-savvy with geopolitical gamesmanship? While Washington frames its reserve as strategic, Pyongyang’s playbook leans on shadows, turning stolen coins into a silent power move. Two nations, one token: a high-stakes dance of value and digits, where motives blur between policy and piracy.
