After pulling back sharply from last week’s highs, major cryptos are on the front foot once again this Wednesday, while a new meme coin called Pepe Unchained ($PEPE)’s presale momentum is unstoppable. Traders are rushing into the ICO ahead of the token’s launch in just 16 days.
Bitcoin ($BTC) dipped to $91,000 on Tuesday after nearly touching $100,000 last week, but has since recovered to nearly $96,000, per TradingView data.
Other crypto majors are also pushing higher on Wednesday, with the likes of Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), BNB (BNB), XRP (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) each up 5-10% in the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap.
With the broader market looking set to continue its stunning post-US election surge, Pepe Unchained’s presale continues to fly, having now raised nearly $55 million, making it one of the most highly anticipated token launches of this year.
As noted, the token will launch across CEXs and DEXs in just 17 days. And, while nothing has been officially announced yet, social media is buzzing with chatter around potential listings on the likes of ByBit, KuCoin, OKX, and even Coinbase and Binance.
Listing on a major tier-1 exchange would be a significant boost for $PEPU. Centralized exchanges (CEXs) have a vast user base, and listings generate a lot of new hype and interest in the project.
Major cryptocurrencies are likely to remain on the front foot in the coming weeks, as optimism ahead of incoming US President Donald Trump’s arrival in the White House remains high.
An expected rebound into the year’s end will keep meme coin markets hot – making it the perfect time for Pepe Unchained to launch.
Thanks to its unique value proposition as a meme coin and an innovative layer-2 blockchain protocol, experts predict massive things for $PEPU in 2025.
The likes of 99Bitcoins, ClayBro and analysts at cryptonews.com are all making 10x to 100x gains calls on their YouTube channels.
New Meme Coin Pepe Unchained – Here’s What You Need to Know
Unlike many meme coins that rely purely on speculative excitement, $PEPU introduces an innovative layer-2 blockchain solution built on top of Ethereum.
Marketed as the future home of meme trading, Pepe Unchained’s “Pepe Chain” promises faster transactions and lower fees, directly addressing the scalability issues of the Ethereum network. The layer-2 protocol’s code has already passed a major audit.
This utility as an innovative blockchain protocol could attract a broader user base to $PEPU beyond just meme enthusiasts.
And Pepe Unchained isn’t just building a blockchain. The new meme coin is busy at work building out an entire ecosystem with features like a dedicated DEX, a block explorer, and developer grant applications are already being reviewed to foster a vibrant community of builders and users.
Possibly the most exciting news for the market is that Pepe Unchained plans to launch Pepe’s Pump Pad, a platform where users can create and launch their own new meme coins with minimal technical knowledge, in just a few clicks.
This tool aims to democratize coin creation, potentially increasing the number of projects within the Pepe Unchained ecosystem, which would drive up demand for $PEPU as the native token.
Meme coins have been some of the best-performing cryptos so far in 2024 and their outperformance could accelerate into 2025 amid a more favorable US regulatory backdrop.
Expect Pepe Unchained to lead the meme coin charge in 2025, as investors hunt for high-potential utility coins with a strong narrative.
$PEPE Is Also a Passive Income Gem?
So, we have already established that Pepe Unchained has a ton of utility, and, as a result, is likely to attract a broader base of users beyond just meme coin speculators.
But a fact going under the radar is that $PEPU is also one of crypto’s most promising passive income gems.
Indeed, DeFi farmers are flocking to the token, which is currently returning 62% APY to presale investors.
$PEPU can offer these early rewards because 30% of the 8 billion token supply has been reserved for staking rewards.
That means that, unlike most other meme coins, which are predominantly traded by speculators looking to get in and out quickly, Pepe is attracting a base of investors with a longer-term mindset.
Moreover, generous staking rewards reduce the risk that $PEPU presale investors could dump their tokens if the price pumps post launch, as these staking rewards (paid out in $PEPU) would grow proportionately with the price.
Against the backdrop of its spectacular presale success, fast-rising social media hype, and the prospect of tier-1 exchange listings, Pepe Unchained is showing all the signs of becoming the next multibillion-dollar meme coin.
At the current price of $0.01295, which gives $PEPU a valuation of around $100 million fully diluted, diamond-handed presale investors could bank gains of 10x or more with $PEPU.
This is not a presale to miss, and interested investors have less than 16 days to get in on the ground floor.
Readers can learn more about Pepe Unchained by checking out the official website and whitepaper.
The project’s smart contract is fully audited by SolidProof and $PEPU can be easily bought with ETH, USDT or bank card.
