Coinbase's decision to postpone the launch of Pepe Coin perpetual futures on its international exchange has caused a stir in the crypto community.

 

This delay coincided with a significant downturn in the value of PEPE, largely fueled by substantial liquidations and prevailing bearish sentiment in the market.

 

Delay in The Launching of Pepe Coin (PEPE)

 

Citing technical issues, Coinbase International Exchange has postponed the introduction of Pepe Coin (PEPE) futures, promising to provide an updated timeline soon. This unexpected delay likely contributed to a 3.5% decline in PEPE's value.

 

Earlier, on April 12, Coinbase International Exchange had generated excitement by announcing the arrival of Pepe Coin perpetual futures.

 

This move was anticipated to be a significant milestone for the platform. Originally scheduled for launch on April 18, the futures contracts were postponed.

 

These perpetual futures contracts were designed to offer traders flexibility in navigating the ever-changing crypto markets, eliminating the constraints of expiration dates.

 

Traders would have the opportunity to speculate on price fluctuations without needing to possess the underlying asset.

 

Upon the initial announcement of Pepe Coin perpetual futures, traders responded with optimism, driving a notable 4% increase in the PEPE price. This uptick signaled renewed interest in the PEPE meme coin.

 

Pepe Price Significant Fall

 

As of press time on Thursday, the price of Pepe Coin had declined by 3.49% to $0.000004951. The popular Solana meme coin maintained a market capitalization of $2.05 billion.

 

However, PEPE's trading volume increased by 3.23% to $671.82 million in the last 24 hours.

 

Today, PEPE experienced significant liquidations, primarily from long positions, totaling $1.27 million. Short positions also saw liquidations amounting to $932,310.

 

The decline in PEPE's price was exacerbated by the liquidations from long positions, but subsequent buying pressure from short positions helped stabilize the situation.
