Further in a tweet, Hayes expressed his growing interest in memecoins like MOTHER, and MOG, indicating his confidence in their potential as serious investments. 

With social media hype and a strong community backing memecoins like PEPE, Hayes’s investment could drive even more interest.

As one of the most influential figures in crypto, his backing could bring even more attention to PEPE, potentially driving up its value in the coming days. If Hayes continues to support PEPE, the memecoin could gain further traction, making it a strong contender in the growing memecoin market.
