Layer-2 meme coin Pepe Unchained (PEPU) has surged 113% in the past 24 hours to become the No. 1 trending cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap, outshining Bitcoin even after it reclaimed the $100K mark.<\/p>\n

PEPU<\/span> is a sensational new Pepe coin derivative that exploded after its launch on Uniswap on Dec. 10, surging to a market cap of $377 million after hitting a new all-time high (ATH) of $0.05292 in the past day. It’s already skyrocketed more than 4x since launch.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as Pepe Unchained goes parabolic, yet another frog-themed rival called Wall Street Pepe (WEPE)<\/a> has burst onto the scene, further shaking up the frog-themed meme coin sector after raising $2.2 million in just one day.<\/p>\n

That’s taken its presale raise to $6.45 million in slightly more than a week, fueling speculation that it could match or even surpass PEPU’s extraordinary $73 million presale fundraising.<\/p>\n

It’s <\/span>already pulling capital in at a much faster pace than PEPU did in the early stages of its ICO campaign. And if it sustains the <\/span>run rate of the past 24 hours, WEPE is on track to surpass the $50 million milestone by the end of the month.  <\/span><\/p>\n

All the excitement in the frog-themed corner of the crypto world in the past 24 hours came as Bitcoin rose from a low during the period of $97.305.72 to a high of $101,913.36. It has since retraced to trade at $100,506.30 as of 2:55 a.m. EST.<\/span><\/p>\n
