Brett, launched on the Base chain in February 2024, is inspired by the character Brett from Matt Furie’s comic book “Boy’s Club” and aims to become a cultural icon within the crypto community.

On the other hand, Pepe, which debuted on Ethereum in April 2023, capitalizes on the popularity of the Pepe the Frog meme.

Although both tokens lack inherent utility, their strong community support and recent Upbit listing are driving their price surges.
