Pepe is a popular meme coin ($PEPE) that has been using the Pepe.vip domain name for its website. According to Binance, Pepe is trading against the USD at approximately $0.000006/coin, and its total market cap is in the ballpark of $2.5 Billion USD.
A short time ago, Pepe made a major domain name upgrade, securing Pepe.com, which had been brokered by Media Options. The acquisition of Pepe.com was announced on X yesterday:
Happy 4/20 and Happy $BTC halving day 🐸🎉

The entity also secured the @pepe X handle as well.
Last night, I reached out to Andrew Rosener to see if he could comment on the deal. Andrew replied to me this morning to confirm the sale. He was unable to divulge the sale price. When asked for a comment, he wrote, “MediaOptions continues to dominate the field as the World’s #1 domain broker.”
At the time of publication, Pepe.com forwards to Pepe.vip. I would imagine they may switch to Pepe.com at some point, but simply controlling this brand matching authoritative domain name is a smart move.
Pepe has been added to the list of companies that upgraded it domain name I maintain at Embrace.com.

I still remember when Francois Carillo bought this one for a bargain of $15,000 at Bido back in 2009…
As they said. If your product sucks but at least you have a good domain name
