The Pepe Unchained presale has cruised past $25 million, buoyed by Bitcoin’s record-breaking rally after Donald Trump’s emphatic victory, where he secured a second, non-consecutive term as US president.
In what is the hottest presale of 2024, Pepe Unchained raised $700K across a two-day window, thanks in no small way to a whale investment of 6 million $PEPU tokens.
Hitting this $25 million milestone also brings with it a new feature: a meme coin launch pad that allows anyone to create tokens on the Pepe Unchained layer 2 blockchain, aiming to rival or even exceed the fervent Solana launchpad Pump.fun.
Pepe Unchained is growing rapidly, and investors can capitalize on that by securing $PEPU at its current presale price of $0.01229.
But they should act fast. The price will incrementally rise throughout the campaign, with the next uptick later today.
Trump won the election to the sound of a crypto price rally
Even before the election concluded, traders were taking punts of cryptocurrencies. However, after Trump was voted to become the 47th US president, liquidity inflows sent BTC to a new ATH of $76.9K.
It didn’t stop with BTC. The meme coin market is now valued at $75 billion, and it’s green across the board.
Ethereum-based Pepe and First Neiro On Ethereum are two top performers, fueled by a renewed interest in ether and expectations that President-Elect Trump will encourage deregulation, allowing the ecosystem to grow.
Pepe is trading at $0.00001138, up 13.7% today and 24.1% this week. Meanwhile, NEIRO is priced at $0.00228, up 0.7% today but 41% this week.
Pump.fun tokens are also strutting their stuff. Leading the way is Goatseus Maximus, up 9.3% today and 65% this week at a price of $0.8819. However, Fwog, MooDeng, and Michi have all also booked gains in excess of 35% this week.
Pump.fun has earned a scorching hot reputation as a platform on which anyone can launch a meme coin—they don’t even need to know how to code. As you can imagine, this has led to some of the wildest, most outlandish joke tokens in the market, making Pump.fun a high priority for meme coin degens.
With meme coins expected to soar in 2025, platforms like Pump.fun make it easier for the sector to continue expanding.
And Pepe Unchained has just unveiled its answer to Pump.fun: Pepe Pump Pad. It’s an Ethereum-based meme coin generator that hopes to make Ethereum the number 1 ecosystem for memetic activity.
Pepe Pump Pad: spawning Ethereum’s next viral meme coins
Ethereum has long been stifled by high fees and low speeds. Its blockchain capabilities were insufficient for crypto’s emergent use case of meme coins, which often require high-frequency transacting.
Enter Pepe Unchained: the first meme coin layer 2 blockchain, designed purposefully to make trading meme coins seamless and secure.
The Pepe Chain breaks free from Ethereum’s archaic transaction capabilities, lifting speeds by 100x and cutting costs. And its team has even launched a developer grants program to attract the industry’s leading talent to this expanding ecosystem.
But this is only the beginning. Pepe Unchained just announced Pepe Pump Pad, enabling users to create new meme coins with just two clicks.
With its heightened transactional capabilities merged with Ethereum’s robust DeFi and liquidity infrastructure, Pepe Unchained has all the ingredients needed for disproportionate growth.
Smart money doubles down with big $PEPU buys this week
Deep-pocketed whales have made major contributions to the Pepe Unchained presale, helping it cross the $25 million raised mark.
Notably, this week saw two whale assists, with the first totalling 2.2 million $PEPU, around $27,000.
However, the second made an even bigger dent, accumulating 6 million $PEPU tokens for $77,000.
Whale purchases are becoming increasingly common in the Pepe Unchained presale. This reflects a strong market interest, with high-net-worth individuals and institutions providing a vote of confidence using their wallets.
Investments from whales also bring valuable insights that help steer $PEPU toward long-term success.
And for smaller traders, these whale purchases could be an opportunity to follow the money and get in on crypto’s most promising new meme coin project.
It’s not just big-time investors involved either. Tier-1 exchanges have expressed interest in Pepe Unchained, providing a clear pathway for the project’s sustained growth when it reaches the open market.
Act fast because the $26 million milestone is coming soon
Before the community has time to finish celebrating the launch of Pepe Pump Pad and raising $25 million, the $26 million raised milestone is staunchly in sight.
Investors can contribute to the presale by visiting its website, connecting their wallet, and choosing the amount of $PEPU they want to buy and the crypto they want to pay with.
And rest assured that Pepe Unchained is safe. They’ve even had full audits from security firms Coinsult and Solid Proof, neither of which found any issues.
