Elon Musk has changed his name on X to Kekius Maximus in a major boost for Pepe-themed coins like Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) after its fundraising passed $38 million.

Earlier in December , multibillionaire meme coin fan Musk retweeted two Kekius Maximus posts, the first from @ALX on December 10, 2024, of an image generated by Grok of our froggy legion.

Four days later, a second Kek coin emerged, associated with Autism Capital. This time, it shows an image of a frog legionnaire smoking a cigarette, which Musk also shared.

Two ‘Kek’ tokens have emerged (there are actually even more, but we’ll stick with the OGs) on Solana (Kekius Maximus $KM) and Ethereum (Kekius $KEKIUS).

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Pepe token has continued to gain traction among those who missed out on Pepe (and Pepe Coin) the first time around or on the launch of Pepe Unchained ($PEPU). Pepe Unchained will soon be releasing Ethereum-based Pump Pad on its very own Layer 2 chain, which is set to leave Pump.fun behind in the shade.

With Elon’s help, WEPE will be the first frog coin price to explode in 2025

At the time of writing $WEPE has raised $38.46 million from early contributors to its crazy-popular consumer token offering (CTO).

Priced at $0.0003661 in its 46th presale price stage, $WEPE is about to roll into its 47th price stage and a new higher price of $0.00036620.

An end date for the presale is yet to be announced, but it may be soon, with market participants expecting the next leg of the meme coin supercycle to take off in the new year.

With Elon Musk remaining fixated on all things Pepe and his work for the D.O.G.E, the momentum in the meme coin frog space is not slackening despite the correction among many OG meme coins.

Aside from ai16z (161%) and FLOKI (0.7%), Pepe, up 9.5%, is the only other top 10 meme coin in positive territory over the past seven days.

Why Wall Street Pepe is the best meme coin consumer token offering of 2025

Consumer token offerings emphasize community-building among retail buyers, making Wall Street Pepe the ideal candidate.

Wall Street Pepe is opening the secret world of alpha calls to everybody. The hidden below-the-radar market-moving news flow will no longer be for whales only. Wall Street Pepe is building its own alpha group for degens who want to beat the whales.

With its community-driven approach, Wall Street Pepe is poised to make a whale-sized impact in the market, leveraging the collective strength of its holders. Equipped with trading secrets and insider alpha calls, $WEPE holders are more than just investors – they’re part of a movement to give the little guys a leg up.

A month after the CTO began, Wall Street Pepe experienced substantial early investor interest, which points to an explosion in the price when the tokens were listed.

As the frog hype mounts, $WEPE could be the next Pepe on the amphibian block, as its ‘frogs strong together’ rallying cry of the $WEPE Army attracts legions of new followers. In less than a month, it has amassed over 28,000 followers on its X account and 12,500 on its Telegram channel.

$WEPE to return 18,644x like $PEPE?

Matt Furie’s Pepe has become an internet meme icon, second to Kabosu, the Dogecoin ($DOGE) mascot. Since its listing on April 10, 2024, $PEPE has surged over 18,644%, instantly turning a $1,000 investment into $186,440. Could $WEPE do the same?

Wall Street Pepe’s ‘Frogs strong together’ mantra captures the essence of a frog community that is open to continuing innovation and new ‘memes on a theme’.

And of course, there is Kekius Maximus ($KEKIUS), like $WEPE, running on the Ethereum chain, which has increased nearly 1,000% in the past 24 hours.

Here’s why $WEPE could be 10x at launch

Cilinix Crypto, with 89,000 YouTube followers, thinks that $WEPE could be 10x at launch because of its laser-focused community-building potential, which is built around generating trading alpha.

The $WEPE Army trading group will be exclusive to Wall Street Pepe token holders. It will be populated with experienced, sophisticated, expert traders who will share their strategies as they keep the community on course to increase profitability.

Retail investors will no longer be left holding the bag when the whales dump on a coin. The $WEPE Army will have the collective market muscle to act in unison, creating a splash to wash away the whales.
