Crypto analyst Jacob Bury has a history of picking winning meme coins long before they hit exchanges. He was one of the first to see the potential of explosive meme coins like Tamadoge and Wall Street Memes, within days of each token launching their ICOs. Both tokens went on to deliver 4-figure returns for early investors.
Now, Bury is back with a new prediction for the next meme coin to explode: Pepe Unchained, an Ethereum Layer-2 that just raised $9 million in its ongoing token presale. Let’s take a closer look at Pepe Unchained and why Bury thinks this could be the biggest token of the year.
Pepe Unchained Builds First Layer-2 for Meme Coins
Pepe Unchained stands out to Bury and thousands of early investors because the project is building the first Ethereum Layer-2 network specifically for meme coins.
The project is focused around the Pepe meme, which inspired the original $PEPE token—still the 3rd-largest meme coin by market cap and growing in value. Popular meme tokens like $BRETT, $ANDY, and $LANDWOLF are also related to Pepe’s explosive popularity since they come from the same graphic novel as Pepe.
In other words, there’s still a lot of excitement around Pepe, and Pepe Unchained is tapping into that.
Pepe Unchained will be powered by its own meme coin, $PEPU, which is used to pay for transactions on the blockchain. $PEPU puts its own new spin on the Pepe meme, framing the Pepe character as a breaker of chains.
The network has plans to ultimately become the biggest hub for meme coin development and trading. While a mass switch to Pepe Unchained will take some time, it could eventually displace competing chains like Solana and Base as the hottest spot for new meme token launches.
Pepe Unchained Offers 100x Speed Boost, Low Transaction Fees
One of the key advantages of the Pepe Unchained Layer-2 is that it’s expected to be 100x faster than the Ethereum mainnet for processing transactions.
That’s a big difference, and it could matter a lot to meme coin traders who need to make swaps on a moment’s notice.
In addition, transactions on Pepe Unchained are expected to cost a fraction of what they currently cost on Ethereum. Fees should be more similar to other Ethereum Layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism.
While accomplishing all of this, Pepe Unchained is ensuring that token holders can seamlessly bridge between its $PEPU token and $ETH. That makes it easier for new investors to join Pepe Unchained and for traders to test out the chain.
Another benefit is that Pepe Unchained offers eye-popping staking rewards. During the presale, investors can earn double rewards. Right now, that means $PEPU token holders are filling their bags with 218% APY.
Presale Raised $9m as Analysts Predict 10x-100x Gains
The Pepe Unchained presale has gotten off to an impressive start, raising more than $9 million in sales of $PEPU tokens in just a few weeks. The project team hasn’t yet announced a hard cap or end date for the presale, so there’s no telling just how big Pepe Unchained could get before it launches.
What we do know is that Pepe Unchained plans to list on major decentralized exchanges first, then jump onto centralized exchanges as trading activity heats up.
Analysts like Bury believe the launch could be one of the biggest crypto events of the year. Bury himself predicted $PEPU could jump 10x. Another prominent meme coin analyst, ClayBro, predicted $PEPU could rocket 100x when it hits exchanges.
Investors who want to be ready for the launch can lock in $PEPU tokens today at a discounted price of $0.0091265. The presale accepts $ETH, $USDT, $BNB, and credit and debit cards for purchasing $PEPU.
This could be one of the biggest meme coins of the year, so don’t miss out—the next price increase in the Pepe Unchained presale is just 2 days away.
