Pepe’s new Layer 2 meme coin, Pepe Unchained ($PEPU)<\/a>, has shattered records, becoming the largest meme coin presale in Web3 history after raising an extraordinary $70 million since its launch this summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s showing no signs of slowing down, either. Currently, $PEPU is netting over $2 million a day. Over on the official website<\/a>, a countdown timer displays just nine days left for interested investors to buy in at a fixed presale price of $0.01295 per token before it launches on centralized and decentralized exchanges. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, word on the grapevine suggests the presale could conclude much sooner, and the token could launch on CEXs and DEXs by early next week. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Given the extraordinary hype, once Pepe Unchained hits the open market, it’s likely to go to the moon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Pepe Unchained presale launched this summer to a wave of hype as meme coin fans bundled in to take advantage of virtually unheard-of staking rewards, alongside lower fees and 100x faster speeds for anyone transacting with $PEPU than its leading ERC-20 meme coin competitors. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To understand the scale of its ICO, one of the year’s biggest meme coins, Slothana, raised $15 million, which was considered a gargantuan fundraise at the time. $PEPU has netted over 4x that amount. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Beyond $PEPU’s ICO, the token’s likely listing on exchanges could smash the ceiling on its potential appreciation. So for those who still haven’t made their minds up, there may never be a better time to buy in – an investment of $100 bags 7,722 $PEPU. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Read on to find out how Pepe’s new Layer 2 token rewards its holders with a glimpse into the future of meme coins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pepe: A Classic, Unleashed And Redesigned<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The original Pepe (ticker: $PEPE) is the third-biggest meme coin<\/a> in crypto with a $8.2 billion market cap. It’s also the largest non-canine meme coin on the market. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The already-famous avatar dropped four years before Bitcoin’s launch in 2009. Pepe was originally a character in the webcomic Boy’s Club<\/em>, designed by Max Furie, known and memed for his catchphrase “feels good, man”. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He then became a global sensation. Pepe even became a political icon after appearing in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. Since the original $PEPE’s launch, other tokens inspired by Furie’s comic have dropped, but none enjoyed quite the same success as the original. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
