PepeCat is a meme coin that merges two powerful internet meme archetypes: Pepe the Frog, created by cartoonist Matt Furie in his 2005 webcomic Boy’s Club, and the universal appeal of cat memes, which have dominated internet culture for years. Pepe the Frog became a global internet meme by 2008, spreading across platforms like Myspace, Gaia Online, 4chan, and Tumblr, evolving into various forms such as "Sad Frog," "Smug Frog," and "Feels Good Man." However, Pepe’s appropriation by alt-right groups in 2015 led to its inclusion in the Anti-Defamation League’s hate symbol database in 2016, though most uses remain non-political. Matt Furie has since worked to reclaim Pepe’s image for positive purposes, such as through the #SavePepe campaign.

Cat memes, on the other hand, have been a staple of internet culture, with examples like Popcat (inspired by a cat named Oatmeal in 2020) demonstrating the viral potential of feline imagery. The combination of Pepe’s expressive, anthropomorphic charm and the relatable, humorous appeal of cats created a natural fusion for a meme coin like PepeCat. The specific $JAG token appears to be a variation or rebranding of PepeCat-related projects, possibly tied to a specific community or platform, though direct references to "Skop" are scarce in the provided data.
