Bitcoin Pepe's team has officially announced exchange listings, with the BPEP token’s debut CEXs to be happening on May 31st.
The BTC Layer 2, dubbed “Solana on Bitcoin”, has now raised over $8.2M in its presale, one of the first meme-related token sales on the world’s largest blockchain. Over $1 million of this figure came in the last week, with the approaching end of the presale causing a notable increase in buyers as T1 listings come into view.
As Bitcoin’s market cap consolidates around $2 trillion, traders are searching for ways to activate their BTC capital. Bitcoin Pepe’s PEP-20 token standard introduces a framework to create and trade memecoins within the Bitcoin ecosystem, potentially tapping into this pool of liquidity and positioning BTC as a more versatile asset as it aims for new highs.
BPEP tokens are available at the current presale price of $0.0326 until the presale ends on May 31st.
Major exchanges embrace Bitcoin's meme layer
In an announcement on X, Bitcoin Pepe stated it has secured listings on multiple major exchanges.
While specific exchange names have not yet been disclosed, the team has confirmed listings will go live following the presale's conclusion at 2PM UTC on May 31st.
Listings on major exchanges are expected to increase liquidity and expand visibility for what is being positioned as one of the more ambitious Layer 2 developments on Bitcoin. This move comes with renewed retail interest in the market, as memecoin trading volume has reportedly risen by over 270% in the last month, showing the interest for a dedicated “meme layer” on Bitcoin.
The PEP-20 token standard creates this layer, allowing anyone to issue assets natively on BTC with Solana-like efficiency. This foundational infrastructure for Bitcoin's meme economy arrives at the confluence of a BTC resurgence and the revival of meme trading, and may contribute to increased interest in the final stages of the BPEP presale.
Elsewhere, PEPE’s recent resurgence indicates renewed momentum in the meme economy. Up by nearly 90% over the last month, BPEP’s namesake is currently one of the strongest-performing memecoins.
Bitcoin's strength fuels BPEP momentum
Bitcoin’s push past $100k follows a period of significant institutional buying activity, with ETFs and corporations adding billions in BTC to their balance sheets last week.
This BTC strength may enhance Bitcoin Pepe’s value proposition. As Bitcoin solidifies its position as the dominant cryptocurrency, BPEP's technology leverages this foundation while aiming to address Bitcoin's scalability limitations with lightning-fast transaction speeds and lower fees.
The synergy is clear: Bitcoin provides the security and trust that meme traders seek following Solana's security issues earlier this year, while BPEP offers the speed and cost-efficiency that could support high-frequency meme trading.
Bitcoin Pepe's presale has now passed $8.2M, with increased participation following the announcement of upcoming exchange listings.
With two weeks remaining until the end of the presale, recent data shows that over $1 million has been raised since the listing news. The token is expected to launch into a broader market that has recently seen increased activity.
The project combines upcoming exchange listings, Bitcoin's market developments, and BPEP's planned Layer 2 functionality. Its aim is to enhance transaction efficiency on the Bitcoin network. The current presale price is $0.0326.
