thebitjournal.com reports that the meme coin market is expanding across major blockchains, with PEPE maintaining a strong community on Ethereum alongside Solana names like BONK and dogwifhat. The outlet highlights OFFICIAL TRUMP and CASHCAT as adding distinct narratives to the sector, while noting Apeing’s presale has reached Stage 6 with over 476 million tokens sold. Apeing is an Ethereum ERC-20 token with a fixed supply of 16.75 billion, featuring a 33-stage presale and a listing price of $0.01.
The project includes a tiered staking system offering rewards between 10% and 85%, alongside a community feature called Ape Wars. PEPE remains a prominent project due to its recognizable branding and active online community. BONK continues to grow its identity within the Solana ecosystem through various integrations.
Dogwifhat, or WIF, has gained visibility through its simple dog-with-hat concept and strong community following. FLOKI has expanded beyond its meme origins into a broader ecosystem of products and initiatives.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PEPE, measured when this story was written up on 30 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for PEPE shows a price of $0.000004260 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.5%, which is higher than the 4-hour ratio of 51.2% and the 24-hour ratio of 50.3%. This indicates that buying pressure is currently building in the short term, as the 1-hour metric exceeds the longer-term averages. The Volume Delta for the last hour is +$108,963, while the 24-hour delta stands at +$242,959, showing net inflows. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is +$344,134, confirming that buyers have been more aggressive than sellers over the day. Net buying occurred for 13 out of the last 24 hours, with a total spot volume of $31,210,277 recorded across 89,893 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.3% sits at the 48th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for PEPE, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, PEPE experienced a price change of -14.6% with a total Volume Delta of -$6,825,721. The 7-day average buy ratio was 48.7%, meaning the current 24-hour ratio of 50.3% represents a +1.6 point increase over that baseline. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $31,210,277 is only 0.56x the weekly average, indicating significantly lower trading activity. This suggests that while buying sentiment has slightly improved compared to the weekly norm, the overall volume remains subdued. Only 2 of the past 7 days saw net buying, highlighting that this is not yet an ordinary day of sustained accumulation.
