Pepe's surge comes amid a week of gains for the cryptocurrency market at large. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, saw their prices increase by 14.2% and 8.8% respectively over the past week. Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume stands at $10.6 billion, and Ethereum's at $7.2 billion. 

The rise of Pepe highlights the continued popularity and unpredictable nature of meme cryptocurrencies, which often experience swift and dramatic price movements. 

The meme coin is up 64% over the past week alone.
