Question 1

What is PEPE?

Accepted Answer

PEPE is a meme cryptocurrency launched in 2023, based on the Pepe the Frog meme. It runs on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and doesn’t offer utility, governance, or a product roadmap. The market prices it purely on sentiment, attention, and trading momentum. The token uses periodic burns to remove part of the supply from circulation over time. This can influence how traders view scarcity, but demand still drives price. PEPE operates without a formal team or structured development, so price action depends on market participation rather than fundamentals.

Question 3

What is the kimchi premium and how does it affect PEPE’s KRW price?

Accepted Answer

The kimchi premium refers to the price difference between South Korean exchanges and global markets. Prices in Korea often trade 2% to 8% higher for major tokens. Capital controls limit arbitrage, so traders can’t easily close that gap. Strong retail demand in Korea pushes prices higher locally. PEPE often shows a larger premium than established assets. Heavy buying during meme coin rallies can push its KRW price far above global levels, sometimes exceeding a 10% gap. This means the KRW price can diverge significantly from international benchmarks at any time. Execution price in Korea may not match what you see on global platforms.

Question 4

How do South Korea’s crypto regulations affect PEPE trading?

Accepted Answer

South Korean exchanges must register as VASPs, enforce real-name banking, and follow strict investor protection rules. Regulators review listed tokens regularly. Meme coins like PEPE face higher delisting risk due to their speculative nature and lack of utility. Exchanges have removed similar assets in the past, and listing status can change quickly with little notice. Tax rules on crypto gains also apply to PEPE. Regulatory action can affect access, liquidity, and how easily you can trade the token on local platforms.

Question 5
