APEPE is a meme coin that combines the symbolism of APE (representing retail investors) and PEPE (representing meme culture) to unite small investors. ^[2] Launched in June 2023 on the Polygon blockchain, APEPE is described as a community-driven coin with no intrinsic value, an official team, or a formal roadmap. Its primary purpose is for community engagement, entertainment, and viral participation. ^[2]

APEPE is a token on the Polygon network. The project has a maximum and total supply of 210 trillion APEPE coins. As of August 2025, the circulating supply was approximately 40.08 trillion APEPE. The token is categorized as a meme coin within the Polygon ecosystem. ^[3]

Community

The community is the core of the APEPE project, aiming to unite small investors into a significant force.

Growth and Market Performance

Following its creation in June 2023, APEPE experienced significant growth and volatility. By August 2025, it was ranked among the top 400 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, with a market capitalization of approximately $120.66 million and a 24-hour trading volume around $67.89 million. ^[3] The token reached an all-time high of around $0.00000690 in late 2024. ^[2]

Unique Positioning and Risks

Unlike utility or governance tokens, APEPE’s value is purely memetic and sustained by community-driven momentum and viral engagement. This positioning attracts speculative interest due to its potential for rapid growth. However, it also carries high volatility and risk, as it lacks a structured development roadmap or an official team. Investors are advised to be aware of the token's speculative nature. ^[2]

Exchange Listings

APEPE is actively traded on numerous centralized exchanges (CEXs), making it accessible to a global audience of meme-coin traders and collectors. It is typically paired with USDT on these platforms. ^[2]
