Bitcoin Pepe , a meme coin-focused layer 2 network on Bitcoin, is closing in on its presale funding goal after raising $8,298,174 of a targeted $8,928,500. Since launch, the token’s price has risen from $0.021 to $0.0326, driven by a structured presale model that increases the token price at each stage. With investors rushing to secure tokens before the next price jump, Bitcoin Pepe has quickly become one of the most closely followed launches in the current market cycle. The project, described as bringing the meme coin experience to Bitcoin, is not just another meme coin—it is building a dedicated layer 2 protocol designed for speed, scale, and accessibility. With only a small portion of presale funding left to raise, its momentum suggests strong investor confidence in this novel infrastructure approach. Price progression built into presale structure Bitcoin Pepe’s presale launched in February with a dynamic pricing model that increases the token price by 5% at each stage. The current price of $0.0326 reflects this gradual climb, with early buyers already seeing paper gains as the token nears its projected listing price of $0.086. This model has rewarded early participation while maintaining steady demand. As each round sells out, the next stage introduces a higher price, encouraging both urgency and long-term interest. With the presale now over 93% funded, buyers are moving quickly to secure remaining tokens before they are gone. The project’s total supply is fixed at 2.1 billion tokens, with 50% allocated to the presale, ensuring widespread distribution and liquidity from day one. A further 15% is reserved for staking rewards, encouraging longer-term holding and participation in the network. Layer 2 enables scalable meme coin trading Bitcoin Pepe is being built as a high-speed, low-fee layer 2 solution on the Bitcoin network, specifically designed for meme coin trading and decentralised applications. The project aims to overcome Bitcoin’s well-known limitations by providing an infrastructure where fast, user-friendly transactions can occur without leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem. The goal is to transform Bitcoin from a store-of-value chain into an active platform for retail trading, starting with memes. This architecture enables users to create, trade, and interact with meme tokens quickly and cheaply, without the need to bridge assets to other blockchains. PEP-20 standard fuels a new ecosystem One of the core innovations behind Bitcoin Pepe is its PEP-20 token standard. Designed to simplify token creation, PEP-20 enables users to launch and trade new tokens directly on Bitcoin Pepe’s layer 2, without relying on legacy Bitcoin tools or external blockchains. The PEP-20 standard opens the door to a thriving meme coin ecosystem on Bitcoin, reducing entry barriers and enabling a new wave of token projects to take root. If adoption continues to grow, this standard could position Bitcoin Pepe as the central hub for meme coin activity on Bitcoin. Transparency and investor protections To address concerns common in meme coin launches, Bitcoin Pepe has prioritised transparency and security. The team is fully doxxed, and the project’s smart contract has undergone a professional audit. These measures aim to build investor trust and support the project’s long-term development. As the presale nears completion, attention is shifting to exchange listing plans and whether the strong presale momentum will translate into post-launch performance. With its unique infrastructure and community-driven tokenomics, Bitcoin Pepe is positioned to play a notable role in shaping the next phase of meme coin evolution.
