• PEPE’s latest exchange listings contributed to the token’s stellar performance.
• Dogecoin remains the most valuable meme coin as it continues to outperform competitors.

Because of its latest remarkable run, the meme coin ecosystem has been quite busy, with market participants speculating that there might be a change in the meme coin cryptocurrency rankings. Per several social media posts, arguments tend to center around PEPE overtaking SHIB, the current second most valuable meme coin. Most people do not envisage Dogecoin (DOGE) losing its most valuable meme coin position because of its stellar run in the past few days.

The Elon Musk-inspired token is also making rounds because of its incredible run. Unlike PEPE, DOGE’s remarkable price actions significantly stemmed from the United States election outcome. Noteworthily, the coin founder, Elon Musk, was an outspoken Trump supporter during the president-elect’s campaign. Hence, it is unsurprising that his token is massively pumping.

Meanwhile, in one of its most recent news publications, Crypto2Community reported that US-based financial outlet Robinhood relisted some previously delisted tokens after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) raised concerns about their security statuses. The coins included Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Ripple’s XRP.

Aside from the relisting, the US-based trading platform added a first-ever trading support for PEPE on its platform. PEPE’s addition increased its cryptocurrency offerings to nineteen tokens. With the latest inclusion, Robinhood aims to boost its user pool by attracting investors, especially meme coin enthusiasts.

South Korea’s Centralised Exchange (CEX), Upbit, also joined the PEPE coin listing frenzy. According to reputable sources, the South Korean trading platform added a PEPE / Korean Won (KRW) trading support to boost its platform’s offerings.

Moreover, before its latest listings, PEPE became the first meme coin to grace the Japanese digital assets market. Notedly, the Tokyo-based exchange BITPoint listed the exchange on its platform around late October, making it possible for Japanese users to transact with PEPE.
