Bitcoin Pepe, the viral ICO building “Solana on Bitcoin”, has seen presale buys surge ahead of its first listing announcements on the 17th of June.
The recent announcements have led to a significant increase in inflows, tipping the presale raise over the $14.5m mark. Bitcoin Pepe has seen similar momentum before, with $500 000 in purchases recorded in a single day after its last major announcement.
Tokens are currently priced at $0.0416 ahead of the next scheduled update on the 30th of June, when additional listing announcements are expected.
Momentum has continued as the presale goes on, with macro factors now aligning with the original concept behind Bitcoin Pepe’s creation. Meme coins are now regaining attention alongside Bitcoin’s ongoing institutional activity, and there appears to be growing interest in scalable, retail-friendly infrastructure on the Bitcoin network —qualities some investors associate with BPEP.
BPEP’s CEX debut awaits
On 17th June, the Bitcoin Pepe team announces its first tranche of exchange partnerships.
Rumors involving ByBit, OKX, Gate, and MEXC have circulated widely since the last announcement on 31st May, with the presale total now at $14.5m.
The visibility, liquidity, and ultimately legitimacy granted by CEX listings have positioned Bitcoin Pepe as a notable project, with some suggesting it could emerge as a competitor to Solana in the recovering meme coin sector.
The Bitcoin layer 2—which enables high-speed, low-fee meme coin trading on the Bitcoin network—launches at a time when memes coins are gaining renewed attention and retail activity appears to be picking up in the market.
Bitcoin Pepe: One of the the key players in the next meme coin cycle
SPX6900, frequently highlighted by meme-focused commentator Murad, is among the top performing tokens this month, adding nearly 150% over the last 30 days. Its market cap is now over $1.5 billion, whileFartcoin has also returned to a capitalization of around $1.2 billion.
Bitcoin dominance remains around 63%, suggesting that this cycle’s institutional interest in BTC is shifting the attention away from traditional meme chains like Solana. Bitcoin Pepe’s PEP-20 token standard allows permissionless minting and trading on Bitcoin, creating a link between the meme coin space and the Bitcoin network.
Now, traders can access the institutional-grade security that has supported Bitcoin’s rise above $111k this cycle, while also participating in the fast-paced meme trading environment that previously helped boost Solana’s popularity as a potential “Ethereum killer.”
By enabling this type of activity on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Pepe unlocks more than $2 trillion in dormant capital currently sitting idly in BTC. The L2’s Bitcoin bridge allows capital to move into areas like meme trading, offering additional functionality for Bitcoin beyond its traditional role as a store of value.
More exchanges coming this month
Bitcoin Pepe has seen increased activity, with a $500,000 increase in purchases after the recent listing announcements.The project also maintains an active Telegram community of over 9,000 members.
Another set of project updates is expected in two weeks, and BPEP is currently priced at $0.0416, with pricing set to change as each presale stage progresses.
The next scheduled update on June 30 may include other major players joining. Depending on the details, this could impact the presale pricing structure, as well as future market performance following BPEP’s launch.
