Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) has stormed past the $25 million mark in its presale, riding high on Bitcoin’s all-time high surge following Donald Trump’s epic victory in securing a second, non-consecutive term in office.
The leading 2024 presale just secured $700,000 in two days, thanks in large part to another enormous whale assist, who recently scooped up $6 million in the project’s native token, $PEPU.
With this quarter-of-$100 million milestone comes an exciting new development: a meme coin launchpad powered by the project’s L2 technology.
This launchpad is set to catapult Ethereum into the meme coin spotlight, eclipsing Solana’s dominance with Pump.fun.
The future for $PEPU holders has never looked brighter, and investors can secure more $PEPU at just $0.01229 per token.
But hurry – there are fewer than 24 hours to buy at this price before the next funding round starts.
The Trump trade worked its magic and now Bitcoin and meme coins are up “huge”
Bitcoin says hello to a new all-time high of $76,460 on Thursday, as Trump secures his victory to become elected as the 47th president of the United States.
Meme coins have soared, with their collective market value skyrocketing to $67 billion.
Leading the charge is Dogecoin ($DOGE), which recently caught the spotlight when Trump’s wealthiest supporter, Elon Musk, playfully referenced it as the acronym for the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) on the Joe Rogan podcast.
The token has sustained its upward momentum since Monday, rising by 13.93%. Other dog-themed coins also saw substantial gains, with Bonk ($BONK) rising 6.98% and CorgiAI ($CORGIAI) increasing by 24.8% over the same period.
The latest batch of tokens emerging from the Pump.fun launchpad is also strutting their stuff.
MICHI ($MICHI) and Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) have posted impressive gains of 15.24% and 33.29%, respectively. However, Moo Deng ($MOODENG) is the biggest mover, soaring 41% in just the past 24 hours.

Pump.fun has earned its reputation as the go-to platform for launching some of the most creative, meme-worthy assets in the crypto world, thanks to its user-friendly design. Even those without coding experience can dive in and create the next viral token.
With meme coins primed for explosive growth, especially in 2025, platforms like Pump.fun fuel this rise, making it easier than ever for new projects to gain traction.
And now, with Pepe Unchained celebrating its latest milestone, it’s stepping up with its own meme coin launchpad – one that can thrust Ethereum into the meme coin spotlight and level the playing field among the top chains.
Pepe Unchained’s new innovation: Pepe’s Pump Pad
Ethereum has long been seen as a chain bogged down by outdated limitations – clunky, slow, and often prohibitively expensive. For meme coin projects like Pepe ($PEPE) and PepeCoin ($PEPECOIN), being tied to Ethereum has hindered their growth and created a hassle for token holders.
For example, the cost of purchasing a single $PEPE token was often driven up by high gas fees, to the point where one Reddit user noted paying more in transaction costs than the actual value of the tokens they wanted to buy.
Enter Pepe Unchained – a beacon of hope designed to break free from these Ethereum bottlenecks and make Pepe token ownership a whole lot easier. Its Ethereum L2 solution promises to end the days of costly, limited transactions for Pepe and potentially other meme coins.
With the new L2 chain, users can now own Pepe tokens without being hampered by the old Ethereum restrictions. The project has even launched developer grants to test the full potential of this chain and encourage the brightest minds to build on its new technology.
But the Pepe Unchained ecosystem is just getting started. The project has just unveiled Pepe’s Pump Pad, a meme coin launchpad similar to Pump.fun, designed to make Ethereum the epicenter of the meme coin world.
Pepe Unchained’s L2 solution makes the platform ideal for the high-frequency, low-cost trading that meme coins demand.
This ecosystem promotes broader participation and higher trading volumes – critical ingredients for the viral growth typical of the meme coin market.
Furthermore, Ethereum’s established DeFi infrastructure ensures deep liquidity and seamless integration with Ethereum-native protocols.
And just like Pump.fun, Pepe’s Pump Pad makes it easy for anyone to create their own meme coin – no coding knowledge required. Users can instantly launch their meme coins with a simple two-click process on their website.
Pepe Unchained sees two major whale buys in just one week
As mentioned, the push to the $25 million milestone comes from another major whale buy. One whale scooped up 2.2 million $PEPU tokens for around $27,000 this month.
Then, on Thursday, another crypto whale made an even bigger splash, purchasing 6 million $PEPU tokens for approximately $77,000.

Whale purchases have become a growing trend for Pepe Unchained since September, with a few notable buys dating back to July.
Whale buys are significant because they signal strong investor confidence, often from individuals or institutional investors with large crypto holdings. These whales not only have more capital but also bring valuable insights that go beyond the reach of the average investor.
For smaller investors, these whale moves can be an opportunity to follow the smart money – especially when the asset is still available at a discount.
Since $PEPU is currently in its presale phase, it represents a golden opportunity for investors to buy in at a fraction of its future value.
Tier-1 exchanges have already expressed interest in Pepe Unchained.
If $PEPU secures a listing on a major exchange, such as Binance, its liquidity could greatly enhance due to increased investor access, potentially resulting in a massive price boost.
A prime example is First Neiro on Ethereum ($NEIRO), which skyrocketed 862x following its listing on Binance.
If $PEPU were to follow a similar trajectory, a mere $1,000 investment could potentially turn into a jaw-dropping $862 million. Given the current price of $PEPU, this is a chance no investor should overlook.
Strap up for the next milestone at $26 million
If you’re new to Pepe Unchained or aiming to acquire more $PEPU tokens to help the project reach its next milestone of $26 million, participating in the presale is straightforward.
Head over to the project’s official website, connect your wallet, and purchase $PEPU with ETH, USDT, or BNB. Credit card payments are also an option.
You can invest with peace of mind, as the project’s smart contract has been rigorously audited by Coinsult and SolidProof, ensuring no critical vulnerabilities were found in its code.
For developers eager to build on the Pepe Unchained L2 chain, grant applications are now open. Complete a quick form on the website, and you’ll receive a confirmation email. The Pepe Council will review submissions on an ongoing basis and award grants to promising projects.
