- Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) has raised over $17M since launching on presale just three months ago.
- Contributing to its success are whale buyers, having acquired a staggering ~$111.8K $PEPU since last month.
- Although the market sentiment is bleak following geopolitical unrest, investor optimism over its developer grant application and Layer-2 (L2) network is evident.
Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) continues to achieve one feat after another on presale, with its latest fundraising round surpassing an impressive $17M.
This Pepe on steroids is proving to be a giant brain in the crypto game. Its success since launching three months ago poses a serious threat to its predecessors.
Investors who have yet to join can buy $PEPU for just $0.00991. Its price will rise in just 12 hours, making it the lowest price for the foreseeable future.
$BTC’s Price Drop Doesn’t Deter $PEPU
Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East (sparked by Iran’s attack on Israel) have shaken crypto investor confidence, causing $BTC to fluctuate below $60K.
After peaking at ~$66.5K following a solid final week of September, Bitcoin’s historically positive ‘uptober’ start has not fared well. Not helping matters, investors abandoned the Bitcoin safe-haven narrative by offloading $3B $BTC on exchanges at a loss.
As a consequence of the crypto king’s tumble, many meme coins witnessed sharp declines. Yesterday, some suffered double-digit losses over just 24 hours.
Despite the recent steep fall in meme coins, Pepe Unchained’s ICO remains on top. It successfully raised six figures ($1M) in just four days.
Such commendable results suggest that investors are still willing to place capital in $PEPU despite the swift shift from risk-on to risk-off at the start of October.
Crypto Whales Scoop Up ~$111.8K $PEPU
Despite the broader market being in a deep sea of red following the geopolitical unrest, a whale recently snatched up 5M $PEPU for 21.75284 $ETH (valued at around $50.8K).
It followed a run of significant transactions. On September 27, a crypto whale purchased 5.2M $PEPU (roughly $5K), which pushed Pepe Unchained‘s presale past the $16M milestone.
This marked the project’s second-largest transaction last month. Just weeks before (on September 9), another whale purchased ~$56K worth of $PEPU.
They often represent the smart money movement due to including not just individual investors but also institutions with – typically – better insights than the average investor.
Whales accumulating $PEPU at such an early stage strongly indicates Pepe Unchained’s potential to rank among the top meme coins. With its L2 launch approaching, a major exchange listing could be all that’s needed to boost the asset’s price significantly.
$PEPU’s $18M Milestone is Within Arm’s Reach
When the ecosystem’s developer grant application launches this Q4, contributors can expect an emergence of new dApps and tokens in Pepe Unchained’s L2.
$PEPU recently spotlighted a sneak peek of the L2 – $PEPE ownership that’s faster, frictionless, and less costly compared to the original token that has a $3.8B market cap.
Each of these factors contributes to Pepe Unchained’s presale success, now targeting an ambitious $18M milestone. Given the project’s developments, reaching its goal in record time is entirely feasible.
With its current funding levels already at record-breaking heights, Austin Hilton (a popular crypto influencer) has dubbed it ‘the best presale ever’ in a video shared with his 272K subscribers.
Ignoring the smart money flowing into this project could be a major mistake for crypto investors.
If you don’t want to miss out on this potential gold mine, visit the project’s official website, connect your wallet, and acquire your $PEPU using $ETH, $USDT, $BNB, or fiat (credit card payments are accepted).
Security-conscious investors can also rest assured. Pepe Unchained’s smart contract has undergone thorough audits by Coinsult and SolidProof, and no critical issues were found.
