PEPE price hits new all-time high as Trump policies spark Ethereum Ecosystem Inflow
On December 8 2024, PEPE, the second-largest memecoin hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network, broke out to new all-time highs.
The rally has been attributed to Bernstein analysts hinting that the US SEC under Trump administration could approve policy changes to enable staking yield for crypto ETFs.
This proposal means that ETFs tracking spot prices of Proof-of-Stake coins like Ethereum can now stake their holdings to generate additional yield for investors.
Trump’s appointment of crypto-friendly Paul Atkins as Gary Gensler’s replacement further emphasized this stance, sparking record inflows towards ETH spot ETFs and the broader Ethereum blockchain ecosystem.

This makes PEPE the most in-demand mega cap memecoin in 2024. As more funds pour into the Ethereum ecosystem amid positive speculation surrounding staking yield approvals for ETFs, PEPE could be poised to close the year on the front-foot, outperforming both DOGE and SHIB.

Typically, such spike in new addresses implies that the underlying PEPE token is attracting fresh demand from new market entrants.
