The Globe Newswire announcement frames the community-driven cryptocurrency project as a way to spotlight a pre-Pepe chapter of internet meme culture through social media and awareness campaigns.
$HOPPY said it is building a community-driven cryptocurrency project around Hoppy, an early frog character created by artist Matt Furie before Pepe the Frog became widely recognized online. The project says that origin gives it a distinct narrative in the crowded meme-coin market, where recognizable characters and community participation often help drive attention. It describes its goal as connecting formative internet culture with digital assets and expanding awareness of Hoppy through community growth, social media activity and awareness campaigns. The announcement also directs readers to the project’s official website, X and Telegram channels for updates.
