Pepe Unchained ($PEPU)<\/a> has raised $14.1 million in its presale as Pepe-themed coins surged on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From $13.8 million on Thursday, Pepe, with its own blockchain, attracted an additional $300,000 in 24 hours, bringing its total funding to the current amount.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Much of the new influx of capital came from renewed bullish interest in the crypto industry following the Fed’s surprising 50 basis point rate cut, which lifted digital asset prices since Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition, Pepe Unchained has announced developer grants for builders<\/a> looking to expand its L2 ecosystem, drawing more investors to its platform and causing its predecessor, Pepe ($PEPE), to look worryingly over its shoulder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pepe Unchained’s native token, $PEPU, is currently priced at $0.00981 until the next funding round starts in less than 19 hours, at which point the presale token price will be set at $0.00982.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pepe-Themed Coins Are Soaring, But $PEPU Is Outperforming Them With Greater Capital Funding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Meme coins are back in vogue, cruising past the $40 billion market cap and currently shining at $42.63 billion. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Trading volumes have surged by 5.11% in the past 24 hours, reaching an impressive $5.57 billion. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among the hottest tokens grabbing investor attention are the popular Pepe-themed coins. PeiPei ($PEIPEI) leads the pack, which has jumped 37.49% overnight and a remarkable 58% over the last seven days. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Following closely is PepeCoin ($PEPECOIN), which soared 10.11% in just one day and climbed 43% in one week. The third-most valuable meme coin, $PEPE, has seen a solid 5.62% bump since Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While these Pepe-themed meme coins have fared well lately, the ultimate version of Pepe, $PEPU, has outdone all of them by breaking yet another presale milestone, earning it the title of the top token presale in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since its launch just three months ago, investors have quickly recognized how the project plans to address the quirks of Pepe ownership, which explains the substantial capital it has raised.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The solution is a proprietary blockchain designed to offer speeds 100 times faster than Ethereum at a fraction of the gas costs, something no other Pepe-themed tokens provide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, while Pepe tokens enjoy their moment in the spotlight, $PEPU<\/a> is patiently waiting in the wings, ready to be unleashed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pepe Unchained Launches Developer Grants<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In preparation for the launch of its Layer 2 chain, Pepe Unchained<\/a> has introduced “Pepe Frens With Benefits<\/a>,” an initiative to award grants to developers creating projects on its new chain. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Developers are encouraged to build projects, submit grant applications, and await the Pepe Council’s vote. They will receive the grant if selected, with applications opening in Q4 2024.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>

It’s essential that we equip developers with all the necessary tools—comprehensive guides and financial support—to build outstanding dApps.

In Q4, we’ll officially open grant applications for developers looking to build on Pepe L2.

This is your chance to help shape the future…<\/p>— Pepe Unchained (@pepe_unchained) September 18, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
