The price of PEPE coin has experienced a significant decline, plummeting over 60% since reaching its peak on May 5. This substantial downturn has dealt a heavy blow to optimistic investors who were aiming to capitalize on their impressive triple-digit profits from June. 

The latest insights from on-chain data suggest massive whale movement. In light of these developments, a pressing question arises:

What lies ahead for the PEPE price, and what can be expected in the future?

Trader Accumulates PEPE: A Long-Term Investment?

Amidst the crypto community’s ongoing speculation, Lookonchain recently unveiled a noteworthy transaction involving trader “osf_rekt.”

It appeared as though osf_rekt was making a conscious effort to maintain ownership of the assets as the user traded 141 Ethereum (ETH) for a staggering 173 billion units of the popular meme coin, PEPE.

What makes this transaction even more intriguing is that it was not the first instance of osf_rekt acquiring PEPE. This pattern of behavior by the trader using a pseudonym implies, in most cases, that they have a fundamental view that the cryptocurrency has positive prospects.

Considering the widespread buzz surrounding PEPE, this accumulation of tokens by osf_rekt does not come as a surprise. However, it is worth noting that PEPE has experienced a recent decline in value.

Over the past seven days alone, its value has depreciated by 14.7%, with a 24-hour slump of 2.8%, ultimately placing its current price at $0.00000150, as reported by CoinGecko.

Declining User Adoption And Network Growth

In addition, a PEPE price report notes that the meme coin has witnessed a concerning trend of dwindling user adoption. This is evident from the data provided by Santiment, which highlights a substantial decrease in the number of new users joining the PEPE network over the course of one week.

Specifically, on July 3, the chart indicates that 1,635 fresh wallet addresses were created. However, as of the time of writing, this number has plummeted by a staggering 47%, leaving only 863 new addresses being generated.

The decline in new user sign-ups is not the only cause for worry within the PEPE ecosystem. Another key metric, network growth, has also experienced a disappointing downturn.

These figures raise concerns about the overall health and vitality of the PEPE ecosystem. The decline in new user adoption and network growth may indicate a potential loss of interest or a lack of confidence in the project.
