**News Flash: Binance.US Lists Memecoin Pepe Amid Growing Market Interest**

Binance.US has added the popular memecoin Pepe (PEPE) to its platform, allowing trading against Tether (USDT) starting December 5. This move is part of a broader trend among US crypto exchanges, like Coinbase, to tap into the booming memecoin market. With a market cap nearing $9 billion, PEPE has gained traction thanks to strong social media and community backing.

The memecoin market, valued at over $130 billion, continues to spark debate. While some see them as a legitimate crypto use case, others view them as speculative ventures.
