Pepe Unchained Meme Coin Raises $35M – Pump Pad Might Rival Solana’s Pump.fun

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Solana is the most popular blockchain in 2024, with almost 39% investor interest. $SOL meme coins are also thriving, and $SOL is up by 56.78% in the past month.
• Pump.fun (the Solana meme coin launchpad) recorded its seventh-day fee earning peak, with $1.65M gained.
• Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) has a real chance of following in Pepe's 763x gains and pump.fun's meteoric rise as a meme coin launchpad.
• $PEPU's presale will end on December 13 and has already raised over $35M.

The crypto meme floodgates are open, and Solana reigns supreme.

It's the most popular blockchain in 2024, with 38.79% investor interest. The top five dApps with the highest 24-hour fees are also on Solana.

Raydium also recorded $11.31M in fees yesterday, and $SOL's pump-fun (meme coin launchpad) recorded $1.65M in fees (seventh-highest day of earnings).

Meanwhile, Pepe Unchained ($PEPU), a Pepe-infused meme coin, raised $35M during presale and is a month away from being listed (potentially on tier-1 exchanges like Binance).

Most importantly, $PEPU will launch its own Layer-2 (L2) meme launchpad like pump.fun. Rumors say Pump Pad will be easier to use and more rewarding than pump.fun.

Let's see what the fuss is all about.

Solana Dominates Meme Coin Market - Peak Bullish

According to CoinGecko, Solana just became the most popular blockchain in 2024. Investor interest sits at 38.79%, more than double that of Base and over triple that of Ethereum.

A big reason for Solana's dominance is pump.fun, its meme coin launchpad, launched in January. The platform launched over 2.5M tokens and netted $1.65M yesterday, the seventh-highest day of earnings.

Pump.fun recently announced the Pump Advanced, which is the fastest trading terminal.' There will be zero fees, with features like mini charts, social activity, and top holder stats.

$SOL is also pumping hard, increasing by 56.78% in the last month and 327.47% in the last year.

Lastly, Solana meme coins are also getting their share of glory (especially after Trump's presidential victory):

• DogWifHat ($WIF) was listed on Coinbase and achieved a 38.13% monthly increase
• Bonk ($BONK) pumped by 108% in the last week
• Peanut the Squirrel ($PNUT) went up by 353.5% in the last week
• Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) is up by 35.8% in the last week

Overall, the total $SOL meme coin market cap is $23.1B, up 6% in the last 24 hours, and investor interest is skyrocketing.

But how does Pepe Unchained, an Ethereum L2 project, come into this? Let's find out.

Arise, Pepe Unchained, and Grasp Your Meme Coin Destiny

Pepe Unchained is an Ethereum L2 meme coin in presale that's raised over $35M (potentially the highest historically).

L2 Blockchains

An L2 blockchain is more scalable than Ethereum and offers faster and less expensive transactions.

$PEPU will have its own block explorer, which will be 100x faster than Ethereum due to the higher transaction volume capacity.

But that's just the start.

Pepe Unchained is planning an entire ecosystem based around the $PEPU token.

Let me explain why it's a big deal. This will be the first-ever Pepe ecosystem running on its own blockchain. The FOMO surrounding the project is unprecedented, to say the least.

$PEPU's Pump Pad is particularly glorious. It allows users to create and launch their own meme coins, just like pump.fun. But Pump Pad will be better than pump.fun - faster and cheaper.

Many Pepe Unchained investors are attracted by the prospect of Pepe's 763x gains. $PEPU had several massive whale buys, like this $50K one.

Another whale currently holds 100 $ETH worth of Pepe Unchained, around $310K.

Moreover, $PEPU's dev team claims tier-1 CEX listings will arrive after the presale ends on December 13. This means the likes of Binance or Coinbase might list Pepe Unchained.

Our Pepe Unchained price prediction estimated that $PEPU could reach a low of $0.09 or a high of $0.97 by the end of 2024 (a 10,000% increase from its listing price).

To buy $PEPU, visit the Pepe Unchained website, connect your wallet to the presale widget, and buy the tokens using $ETH, $USDT, $BNB, or a card.

Hot tip - you can use the Best Wallet app to get your $PEPU tokens before the team announces the official claim date.

Here are a couple of final reasons why you might want to get into Pepe Unchained - it has Coinsult and SolidProof audits, and community engagement on X looks healthy.

Verdict - $PEPU to Follow $PEPE and pump.fun?

At this point, there's little to be said about Pepe Unchained's potential. It's looking really solid, according to the over $35M raised during the presale.

Plus, it brings significant utility to the Pepe ecosystem, with its Pump Pad taking center stage.

The presale ends on December 13, so if you're planning to invest, now would be a good time to do so.
