no one knows for sure if it's scam coin or meme coin unless there's some verification on their smart contract code, it could be rugpulled, for all i know, but generally memecoin are speculative and manipulated much more like scam coin. though considering the fact that it got listed in coinmarketcap maybe it's just another meme coin.
Project listed on coinmarketcap shouldn't be a guarantee that the projects are legit and not going to scam. Coinmarketcap isn't a scam busting sites, they're just like other sites used for tracking cryptocurency so they can list any cryptocurrency that comes into existence, it doesn't matter if they're scam or not.
Many scam projects are not known to be scam until they finally scam there investors. PEPE AI isn't a good project for me to invest in. They just came out and it's because PEPE cryptocurency is trending so they just want to ride on the fame of the coins to sell theirs that's why I don't trust them.
Without PEPE been popular, PEPE AI won't have come out so I'll invest in the real PEPE instead of investing in the duplicate that can rug pull. Whenever a new coins starts trending, scammers launch their tokens with similar names to confused investor to thinking they're investing in the same project.
