With Bitcoin (BTC) back above the $95,000 mark after a brief dip to $90,907 this week, numerous altcoins are rebounding, and the meme coin space is following suit.
As coins like Ethereum (ETH), BNB (BNB), and Pepe (PEPE) record gains of 5-8%, bullish sentiment is returning to the market.
One token that’s attracting more attention than most competitors is Pepe Unchained (PEPU). The meme coin presale has now raised over $56 million ahead of its launch this December.
PEPU’s Layer 2 Network and Pump Pad Created With Meme Coin Developers In Mind
Pepe Unchained plans to join the meme coin scene with a bang, as its Layer 2 blockchain will offer 100x faster transaction speeds than Ethereum at much lower gas fees. It won’t just be a blockchain either, as PEPU plans to release a whole ecosystem complete with a bridge, DEX, advanced analytics, and other features.
Its meme coin-oriented chain could resolve the issues meme coin traders and developers have with ETH’s network, encouraging them to stay in its environment. Plus, the project is already issuing developer grants for those interested in building on top of its Layer 2 network, and it has announced the release of its meme coin launch pad, the Pepe Pump Pad.
Reminding their audience of Pump.fun’s success on the Solana chain, on which the token launch pad generated an on-chain volume of more than $100 billion, PEPU’s developers aim to replicate that with the Pepe Pump Pad.
They advertise the Pepe Pump Pad as a feature that will allow anyone to launch their own meme coins, even with no prior experience or coding knowledge.
The Pepe Unchained team also shared news of a successful Layer 2 audit that confirms it’s secure and stable, with further details to follow once the platform and Pepe Unchained launch.
PEPU’s December Launch Could Coincide With a Meme Coin Supercycle
November has been a crucial month for the broader crypto market, which increased its market cap by nearly $1 trillion in the past 30 days. On November 1st, its value stood at $2.33 trillion, and it is now valued at $3.31 trillion.
The US Election Day, which saw the election of Trump’s pro-crypto government, acted as a catalyst for Bitcoin’s surge, helping it reach a new all-time high at $99,655. Although the leading cryptocurrency’s price fluctuated since, it’s up by 2% today, and the market looks ready for another rally in December.
During November’s Bitcoin and altcoin rebound, Pepe, which inspired Pepe Unchained’s aesthetic, listed on Coinbase and Robinhood, which sent the coin soaring to a $10 billion market cap and a new ATH at $0.00002547.
A team of crypto experts running the 99Bitcoins YouTube channel, followed by more than 711,000 crypto enthusiasts, believes PEPU has a chance to launch on a Tier 1 exchange once its presale ends, naming platforms like Coinbase and Binance as potential candidates.
The team expects PEPU to enter the top 25 meme coin list immediately after launch, with a strong possibility of moving up the list if the broader crypto market keeps its upward movement in December.
Investors Don’t Have Much Time Left to Join PEPU’s Fast-Growing Community During the Presale
Despite its ambitious goals, PEPU’s position as a meme coin means its success is closely tied to its community and security. The project’s marketing efforts, fueled by 10% of its total 8 billion token supply, have already helped it gather over 105,000 followers across Facebook, Telegram, and X (Twitter).
Pepe Unchained also demonstrated its commitment to investor security by having its smart contract audited by SolidProof and Coinsult and allocating 7.5% of the total token supply to liquidity to create a safe trading environment.
Currently, PEPU costs $0.01295 each, but investors have limited time to add it to their portfolios at that price, which increases as the presale ends. Interested parties can purchase PEPU using BNB, ETH, USDT, or a traditional bank card; no minimum investment is required.
PEPU’s backers will gain access to their token holdings once it launches on CEXs and DEXs, while Best Wallet users get additional insights into PEPU’s progress via stage and milestone alerts and the overview of the token’s value before claiming goes live.
Pepe Unchained also offers a 60% staking APY, allowing early backers to earn passive rewards in PEPU. With a two-year vesting period and over 2.6 billion PEPU staked already, the strong participation reflects the community’s confidence in the project’s long-term success.
While the future of meme coins is always uncertain, PEPU is one of the largest meme coin presales in history, and its innovative approach to the market could set the stage for massive growth once it launches.
