Pepe’s Dog memecoin debuts on KuCoin following its recent partnership with the original artist and owner of real-life Zeus.

Pepe’s Dog (ZEUS), the memecoin inspired by Pepe the Frog’s iconic dog, has landed its third major CEX listing with its debut on KuCoin. The listing on KuCoin follows previous listings on Poloniex and LBank. While the token’s on-chain contract remains listed as ZEUS, KuCoin will display it under the ticker ZEUSETH due to a ticker duplication issue.

ZEUS’s listing marks another milestone in the memecoin‘s rapid ascent since launch, where it grew from a $50,000 market cap to over $20 million at its peak in late May. At press time, ZEUS holds a market cap of $6.7 million as ZEUS price recovers from its all-time low reached five days ago. It’s currently up 170% since ATL.

KuCoin’s listing of ZEUS follows the project’s recent announcement that it had formed an IP partnership with ND Haus, the original artist who first illustrated Zeus, the dog featured alongside Pepe in Matt Furie’s early comic works. Alongside him, Jon “Jagged” Eyrick — the owner of the real-life Zeus — has joined the project as a core contributor and IP rights holder.

“Never thought my dog would end up a meme legend, but here we are. Teaming up with ND Haus, the OG artist who first drew Zeus, is surreal. As the guy who built the Binance API and the owner of the real Zeus, it’s wild (and kinda awesome) to see him become the face of a project that actually respects the culture and the roots,” commented Eyrick.

This positions ZEUS as the first and only memecoin with direct, authentic ties to the Furie Universe.
