PEPE, the popular meme coin, has seen a significant price increase of 10.64% over the past 24 hours, bringing its market cap to $2.13 billion. This surge has caught the attention of traders and influencers alike.

Influencer RookieXBT has suggested that PEPE's rise could be a precursor to a broader risk-on phase in the crypto market. This sentiment reflects a growing interest in the coin and could indicate shifting investor attitudes.

According to DeFiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) in the Phase ecosystem is currently $113.01 million, marking a 5.1% decrease over the past week. This suggests that while some sectors are experiencing a downturn, others like PEPE are gaining traction.

The overall crypto market cap remains stable at $2.79 trillion, with Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.67%. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The rise of PEPE and RookieXBT's prediction come amid a period of market uncertainty. If PEPE continues to gain momentum, it could potentially trigger a broader shift towards risk-on sentiment, although this remains speculative.
