Bitcoin Pepe is approaching its final presale milestone with just two days remaining until the long-awaited May 31 centralised exchange (CEX) listing. The project has already raised $12,139,762 of its $12,701,500 target, setting the stage for what could be one of the most significant meme coin launches of 2025. Built as a Layer 2 on Bitcoin, Bitcoin Pepe blends the performance of Solana with the security of BTC, bringing the viral nature of meme coins directly to the world’s most trusted blockchain. At a time when investors are chasing the next breakout opportunity, Bitcoin Pepe is positioning itself as a serious contender. Its presale has attracted global attention, not only because of its meme-driven brand, but also due to its technological foundation, which includes the PEP-20 token standard. This standard allows meme coins to be issued natively on Bitcoin’s infrastructure—something previously thought impossible. As this final countdown begins, the token price remains at $0.0377, but that won’t last long. The PEP-20 standard is Bitcoin’s DeFi unlock While Bitcoin has long been considered “digital gold,” its capabilities for decentralised finance and token creation have lagged behind Ethereum and Solana. Bitcoin Pepe aims to fix that. By introducing PEP-20, a new token standard for Bitcoin’s Layer 2, the project allows developers and communities to mint and trade meme coins directly on Bitcoin. That shift is not just about meme culture—it’s about functionality. With lower transaction fees, fast speeds, and the immutability of Bitcoin, the new Layer 2 infrastructure enables a seamless user experience similar to what investors enjoy on Solana. This opens the door to a flood of potential capital—nearly $2 trillion worth of BTC liquidity that has, until now, sat on the sidelines of DeFi and meme coin markets. Bitcoin Pepe isn’t just launching a coin; it’s laying the groundwork for an entire meme coin economy on Bitcoin. Strategic partnerships drive ecosystem use cases What separates Bitcoin Pepe from many other meme coins is its extensive ecosystem building. It’s not merely a speculative asset—it has been building partnerships that create real-world utility for its native token, BPEP. Among its partners is Plena Finance, a DeFi super app that plans to integrate BPEP into its platform for transactions and staking. GETE Network, a cross-chain gaming project, aims to embed BPEP into its gameplay mechanics. BETV, a short-form Web3 video platform, could use BPEP and PEP-20 tokens to reward content creators and manage fan engagement. From gaming to social content to decentralised finance, these integrations offer diverse entry points for BPEP beyond trading—positioning it as a functional token within emerging Web3 environments. Countdown to listing: Price set, window closing As the May 31 listing approaches, the final tokens are being sold at $0.0377. The presale structure is designed to reward early investors, with each completed stage increasing the token price by 5%. Those who joined in the early stages have already seen gains of more than 300% on paper. With only a small allocation of tokens left before the target is met, and the CEX listing just days away, this is the last chance to buy in before BPEP hits live trading markets. The launch is expected to attract significant volume, especially as the project is rumoured to be working with multiple major exchanges. This isn’t just another meme coin—it’s a full-stack Layer 2 solution bringing the virality of meme culture to Bitcoin’s solid foundation.
