Pepe coin has emerged as the standout performer among major meme cryptocurrencies this week, with a 9.98% gain over the past seven days. This contrasts with 
Dogecoin and 
Shiba Inu, which have both experienced weekly declines of 3.94% and 5.17% respectively.
The rally in Pepe appears to be driven by reports of Justin Sun taking a stake in the token, according to Crypto Daily. This news has helped push Pepe's price to $0.000005, representing a 24-hour increase of 3.07%.
While Pepe's market cap now stands at $2.1 billion, Dogecoin's market cap is $12.22 billion and Shiba Inu's is $2.87 billion. Despite Pepe's gains, both DOGE and SHIB remain below their moving averages, indicating continued downward pressure.
The broader cryptocurrency market remains subdued, with 
Bitcoin down 1.10% in the last 24 hours and the total market cap at $2.75 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index remains at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
The performance of Pepe, DOGE, and SHIB suggests a potential rotation within the meme coin sector, with investors shifting their focus to newer tokens like Pepe. This trend bears watching as it could indicate changing preferences among retail traders.
