We're thrilled to announce that Pepe's Dog ($ZEUS) was listed on KuCoin on July 7, 2025, at 10:00 UTC. Trading began under the trading pair ZEUSCC8/USDT on KuCoin's spot trading platform. This is the first listing of $ZEUS, the official memecoin project of Pepe's Dog, on a centralized exchange.ze The on-chain ticker name as defined in the smart contract is ZEUS, with contract address https://etherscan.io/address/0x0f7dC5D02CC1E1f5Ee47854d534D332A1081cCC8. However, KuCoin is using ZEUSCC8 due to a ticker duplicate issue. Project overview Zeus is a key character in Matt Furie's Boy's Club comics, the dog of the now-ubiquitous Pepe the Frog. The memecoin project's mission is to allow community members to experience the roots of meme culture. As you can see, $ZEUS' smart contract ends in CC8 in a nod to CZ's dog and other memecoin legends, tokens that went viral due to the grassroots, community-first nature of their launch. Not only is $ZEUS deeply rooted in meme culture, but it also enjoys the support of ND Haus, the original artist of Zeus the Dog, Jon "Jagged" Eyrick, who owns the actual dog, and Furie himself. The Zeus project has officially secured IP rights and trademark protection over the $ZEUS name and visual identity, a major milestone in ensuring a legally compliant foundation. The KuCoin listing is the most recent in a series of achievements that comprise the token's roadmap. The token itself launched without venture capital or insiders on May 21, 2025, kicking off with a meme blitz across X and Telegram and listings on DEX tools and trackers. The team obtained the original Zeus NFT and bought the original ND Haus artwork on June 4. A dog charity campaign began on June 16, with proceeds from future merchandise and NFT sales to be donated to dog shelters in Macedonia. Anyone who cares about our abandoned, four-legged, furry, cuddly friends can now support them by buying $ZEUS. Benefits of the listing The listing signifies improved liquidity and access to the $ZEUS token, as buying and selling it has now become easier. A wider audience will gain exposure to the token, and the listing is a major milestone in the project's roadmap. Future ones include a merchandise drop by the end of July, including hoodies for us and Zeus-inspired leashes, collars, and plushies for our best friends. The team is commissioning a statue to be sent to Zeus's hometown in Macedonia in August, followed by a comic book and NFT drop and further CEX Listings throughout the third quarter of 2025. ND Haus is collaborating on a limited-edition Zeus comic series featuring origin stories, lore, and adventures alongside her favorite artists. Exclusive NFTs connected to the chapters will be distributed to the first 10,000 holders. Tokens like $PEPE and $BONK have rallied within a few days of their listing, confirming the view that early access to a newly listed token comes with the possibility of high returns if it gains traction. Zeus' push for more CEX listings, a wide-reaching marketing campaign, and surprise community drops can all increase the token's value. The team will fly community members to meet Zeus IRL and launch a non-profit DAO led by ND Haus to support meme and underground artists by the end of 2025. Newly listed tokens come with certain risks, but this is not $ ZEUS' first listing. It's also listed on UniSwap, LBank, and other decentralized exchanges. Ready to trade?
