James Wynn, the Trader Who Bet $1B on Bitcoin, is Now Long Pepe

James Wynn—the trader who staked $1 billion on Bitcoin’s rise—just flipped bullish on PEPE. Here’s why that move screams ’degenerate crypto casino’ or ’genius play,’ depending on who you ask.

The Bitcoin Whale’s New Gamble

Wynn’s track record with Bitcoin turned heads (and wallets), but PEPE? The meme coin’s volatility makes BTC look like a savings account. Either he’s spotted an asymmetric opportunity—or this is hedge-fund performance-chasing at its finest.

Why PEPE? (And Why Now?)

No official thesis from Wynn yet, but insiders whisper about ’narrative cycles’ and ’low-cap alts primed for pumps.’ Classic crypto: where fundamentals are optional, and liquidity is king.

One thing’s certain: when a whale moves, the market twitches. Whether this ends in Lambos or liquidations, Wall Street will still charge 2-and-20 for worse bets.
