“I have just swapped all my SHIB holdings worth $17k across two wallets to PEPE.”

Smart money flows from Shiba Inu to Pepe Coin
Another market participant with a proven track of success also recently swapped “some” of his Shiba Inu tokens for Pepe Coin. Prior to this, the address made $3.84 million on SHIB. Recently, the participant bought 325 billion PEPE by ditching 6 billion Shiba Inu tokens. That said, it should be noted that even this ‘smart money’ address bought SHIB in 2021 and 2022 at fairly cheap prices. Now, not only has he bought PEPE, but has also invested in other meme coins such as BABYPEPE and PEPET.

Even though there are numerous cases of investors and traders profiting by shuffling capital from Shiba Inu to Pepe Coin, it should be noted that investment in meme coins always comes with a risk. Hence, as always, DYOR.
