Early PEPE Whale Dimethyltryptamine.ETH Buys 45.08 Billion Tokens After Binance Hacker Sell-Off

Early Pepe (PEPE) investor dimethyltryptamine.eth bought 45.08 billion PEPE for about $206.5K after the Binance hacker sold the memecoin, according to on-chain data.

A wallet linked to one of the earliest Pepe ($PEPE) investors has bought another 45.08 billion tokens, spending roughly $206.5K, shortly after the hacker behind the Binance security breach finished selling the memecoin.

The wallet, known as dimethyltryptamine.eth, used decentralized aggregators to make the purchase, according to @arkham data. It was funded by selling 600K $SPX tokens worth about $212.16K. The entity now holds $10.3M in assets, of which $10.19M is in PEPE.

Purchase Follows Binance Hacker Dump

The buy came after the Binance hacker sold off a large PEPE position. Crypto.news reported that the sale followed the October 29 security breach at Binance, in which attackers gained unauthorized access to exchange-controlled wallets. The outlet put the reported hacker sales at $31.66 million, while Coingape cited Whale Alert data showing the attackers moved 7 trillion PEPE, valued at about $34 million.

Crypto.news said PEPE's price fell despite the whale's purchase. Bybit data showed PEPE trading around $0.00000462 on October 30, with a market capitalization of $1.94B and a 24-hour decline of about 8%.

A Wallet With a Long PEPE History

The wallet has been closely watched since the early days of the token. It invested just 0.125 ETH, worth about $251 at the time, into PEPE via Uniswap V3 in April 2023. That bought 5.9 trillion PEPE, which at its peak was worth $100 million, TokenPost reported.

Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain flagged the latest purchase and tied it to the end of the hacker's sell-off, according to TokenPost.

Large wallet purchases after sharp sell-offs are often read as a sign of conviction from long-term holders, though they do not by themselves indicate where prices will go next. PEPE remains a highly volatile memecoin with no product roadmap, and a single wallet's $206.5K buy is small relative to the token's market capitalization of nearly $2 billion.

The wallet's holdings are also heavily concentrated. With PEPE making up almost all of its $10.3M in assets, its value moves closely with the token's price.
