Fact Check
The primary source, Santiment (@SantimentData), explicitly states PEPE recorded its largest net exchange outflow since November 14, 2024, with 4.54T tokens leaving exchanges on August 5, 2026. This exactly matches the claim's figure and date reference. BeInCrypto, CryptoRank/BlockchainReporter, and CoinNess independently report identical numbers, all attributing to Santiment. BeInCrypto also corroborates the secondary claim of large-wallet/Smart Money accumulation (top 100 addresses +6.07% over 30 days, Smart Money +307%) and the ~90% below December 2024 peak with muted speculative interest.
Summary

PEPE logged a 4.54 trillion token net exchange outflow in one day, its largest since Nov. 14, 2024, signaling reduced near-term sell pressure as the token moved mostly sideways for two months and remained about 90% below its December 2024 peak. Earlier Nansen data showed the top 100 PEPE addresses increased holdings 6.07% over 30 days to about 85.97 trillion tokens and Smart Money holdings rose 307% to about 108 billion, reinforcing Santiment's view that supply may be shifting into stronger hands even with muted trader interest, weak funding and support-level tests dominating discussion. PEPE also remains one of Ethereum's largest meme coins by holder count, with 571,613 wallet addresses versus 1,678,653 for Shiba Inu, while Canary Capital's April Form S-1 for a spot PEPE ETF pointed to emerging institutional interest. Crypto analyst Rafaela Rigo projected a target near $0.0000143 from a current level of $0.0000028, but veteran crypto trader Ogle warned that thin liquidity, concentrated ownership and leveraged trading can turn meme coin rallies into steep declines, citing CASHCAT's recent price action.

Terms & Concepts
