Wikipedia

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

"How a Harmless Frog Became a 'Nazi Symbol': Pepe's an Issue in US Election". Sputnik. September 13, 2016. Archived from the original on September 14, 2016. Retrieved October 4, 2016. Over on Wikipedia, editors have been engaged in an edit war, after the page was changed to say that the anthropomorphic frog is associated with Trump, white nationalism, and the alt-right.

Meme coin $PEPE

Per this page: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/

"""

PEPE is a deflationary memecoin launched on Ethereum. The cryptocurrency was created as a tribute to the Pepe the Frog internet meme, created by Matt Furie, which gained popularity in the early 2000s. The project aims to capitalize on the popularity of meme coins, like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, and strives to establish itself as one of the top meme-based cryptocurrencies. PEPE appeals to the cryptocurrency community by instituting a no-tax policy and being up-front about its lack of utility, keeping things pure and simple as a memecoin.

"""

I don't think the article needs all this, but some kind of reference to the coin seems appropriate at this point.

Here's a couple more mentions to the coin as well:
